I come from a long line of sewers. My grandfather and 2 generations prior were tailors. My mom was a sewer extraordinaire and the tradition continued with my sister and myself. At the start of a new school year my mom would make my sister and I new outfits to wear on the first day of school. We loved spending time leafing through pattern books to pick out our new ensemble. That is where my inspiration came from for today's sketch.

Like you, I've been sewing for years and years but decided to step aside when I found out about making cards. I love this card. It's so sweet and reminescent of those days when I made all mine and my childrens' clothes. There couldnt be a better card for anyone that sews. I would have to wish the recipient is, in fact, someone who sews and take this precious card and frame for her sewing room.

What a wonderful write-up on this card. I love what you did with this. I remember when every department store had fabric depts. And I recall the very first dress I made in 8th grade home ec...it was an A-line. Spring green with daisies all around.
Cool card!
