Tina Givens shares her sewing story for National Sewing Month!
My first memories of
needle and thread was 12” talking doll. She was beautiful but her clothes were
shockingly ugly to me. So I planned and proceeded to remove her clothes and
remade them in my own ‘style’. I stitched each garment by hand and was
delighted at my work. I started dreaming of the way a needle can magically go
in and out of cloth, and piece parts together. This thrilled me and after
begging my grandmother and mother to let me learn on the machine, they finally
sat me down and taught me the basics. All to happy to provide me with a new
hobby! I was so excited I almost passed out. Once I’d experienced the machine
there was no stopping me. They ensured I had a stock of fabric when I was young
to prevent me from cutting up the curtains, sheets and anything else I could
find!
