I am interested but my daughter is only 15 1/2 months right now. Not sure if that would work for what you need or not. You can email me at ShoeGalAmy@yahoo.com if you want. Thanks!

Hi would love to give it a go and also a big thanks for sending me an email and for the advice about starting out a business. I would love to advertise on your site but just trying to get a few things done first, eg register name, labels all that fun stuff. So I will be in touch and my children are 1, 2 and 4. Eldest a girl and younger two are boys. One more thing I tried to download the skirt pattern you were giving away and I haven't been able to do it. I have a mac if that makes any difference but will give it another go, I'm not very computer savvy.

Hi, I have a 28 month old granddaughter I sew for. I am retired (recently) and would like to be a tester for you. I have put my feet in the water with a few items on Etsy just to see how it works. I am looking for things to keep me busy. I will email you tomorrow if you would like. I have serger, 3 embroidery machines (2 of which are sewing/embroidery machines). I can send pictures digitally and grandbaby is cute as a button but sometimes camera shy so we have to sneak pictures. lol Let me know if you would like more information.

Ooh Oohh I have a 3.5 year old. She wears a 2T/3T depending on how its made. She's super petite...28 pounds and 37 inches. I do not have a Serger but I have a Kenmore machine with a Sergind stitch. It's a newer Kenmore, not 100% on the name but it has a zillion stitch options. I have bought a pattern from you in the past (www.jeagle222.etsy.com) My email is JPHurst222@yahoo.com. I work M-F so I do most of my sewing on the weekend. I do have a camera. I have no idea how to send a picture :)

I have twin girls turning 4 next month, a 15M old girl and a 7 yr old boy. I have a sewing machine, but not a surger. I HAVE used ebooks before and love them. The one thing I have found that my machine can NOT do is using elastic thread in the bobbin. I DO have a digital camera and could send pics easily. I am an intermediate sewer. My girls are in size 3t or 4t right now. I make LOTS of their Sunday dresses and am always looking for something to make that is not typical off the rack.

have a 6yr old and 3 yr old girls, with a new baby boy on the way. have a great machine, and consider myself a decent 'beginner' sewer, so tutorials are always handy. but have some experience making hats, dresses, etc.

Hi , Laura , if you need pattern testers still, I am expecting a little girl in Aug and will be sewing lots of clothes for her ( already started !) ..as I have been for my two boys over the last 12 years . I've used Burda, Simplicity, Butterick and New Look patterns, also lots of free internet downloads !. I have a Bernina 165 , no serger though. Can take photos and upload to my blog or wherever you need them. I am primarily interested in sewing baby dresses 3-24 mo. Email me if you need a tester ..I'll be glad to cooperate!
