“Creativity is contagious, pass it on”
It Started with a Button
Mary Forbes, has always loved creating. As a little girl she would sit on her moms feet and play with a tin of buttons, while her mom was sewing. When she was 6, her mom and dad recognized her desire to sew. Her first project was a blue corduroy jumper with beautiful sparkly buttons. Her dad (an engineer) showed her how to layout and "read" the pattern (pictures), and her mom would have her sit on her lap to use the sewing machine. The blue corduroy jumper with sparkly buttons is Mary's first memory of creating and the beginning of her love of all things creative!
