When I was young my mother taught me to sew and I was fortunate to have her right there to ask "Mum, how do I do this? or "Mum, what's the best way to do that?

As I got older, I gained more patience with my sewing and once I mastered the art of finishing off the inside so neatly, I could have worn the outfit inside out, there was no way I could wear something not finished off correctly.

I originally wrote this book for my daughter, I grew up living with my Mum for most of my working life but these days,sons and daughters travel for their work and my daughter finished up on the other side of the country. So where I was able to call out "Mum how do I do this?' and Mum was right there, long distance phone calls and trying to explain over the phone was not easy. So I decided to write "Mum how do I do this?" for "my girl" and she suggested calling it Sew More For U because I put so much more into it than she was expecting.
