hello fellow crafters

so glad to join this forum, i have been a fan of this magazine for over a year though this is the first time i am visiting its website.

My crafting hobby is sewing, its really more then a hobby it has been my profession and a big part of my life since inwas a child of eight or so when i first started making clothes for my dolls, years later i was a private seamstress making clothes for my customers then quite recently i opened my own etsy shop to do what i like doing best; making fancy dresses for little girls,  i dress my youngest daughter in all sorts of fancy dresses who actually models a lot of the gowns i sell on etsy. I love vintange things and adore vintage lace, am really picky about it, but i collect it like mad though i have a hard time letting it go and using it. Like all precious things i usualy have them placed in pretty boxes and spend hours browsing, staring and admiring them, like some sort of museum pieces.
