First Encounters in the Wonderful World of Fashion

By Americansarta @sartamexicana
My passion for sewing and creating began at a very young age!  I was fortunate that my mother was a seamstress. Scrapes of fabric from her projects were used to create gowns.  Shoe boxes of enveloped  patterns for my Barbie's clothing and costumes still exist at my mother's! 

 Where to Begin:
