Memory Bears
My name is Sue Saari. I am 63 years old. I am a sister, a Mom, a Grandma. I've lived in St. Paul, MN, all my life.
My wonderful Mom, taught me how to sew, when I was 10-11 years old. The first thing I remember sewing, that turned out, was a rag doll, with yellow yarn hair, and a purple dress. It was for my baby sister, Cindy, She loved it, and slept with it every night, for years. The next thing I remember I made a dress, for myself. It was a short dress, it was late 60's early 70's, when mini skirts were in. I remember, I put the sleeves on inside out. I was upset. My Mom, told me, it's okay, we can fix it. She showed me how to use a seam ripper, and we took off the sleeves, and put them on the correct way.
