About Miss Ariana Sews

This blog is written by a 9 year old girl and her mother. It is a journal of the fun they've had learning to sew, what they are learning and the projects they've completed. Enjoy!

Ariana's Mama has been sewing since she was a little girl. Over the last few years Miss Ariana has watched her mother sew all sorts of wonderful things. Miss Ariana decided that she wants to know how to create beautiful clothing too.

Ariana's Mama was surfing the web one day and came across the book Mary Frances Sewing by Jane Eayre Fryer. Since it was written in 1913, it has the beautiful vintage flavor that she loves. She thought it would be fabulous to use as a teaching text to teach Miss Ariana to sew. This is their journey.


Miss Ariana: 9 years old, blond, curly hair. Loves reading, singing, tea parties, dolls, watching her mama sew, playing with her brothers and wearing skirts.

Ariana's Mama: Younger than the hills but older than Miss Ariana, brunette with a hardy dash of salt and curls that droop. Loves reading, sewing, baking, tea parties, days when life was simpler, long walks on the beach and a great fitting Little Black Dress.
