But after finding her grandmother’s sewing machine while cleaning out the basement, she decides to make some new clothes for London. Drawing on family traditions, ingenuity and her newfound talent, Emma Jean sews each garment with love. When a school bully targets London for her homemade fashions, she refuses to wear more of her mother’s clothes. But when the school dance rolls around, London will discover just how cool a handmade dress can be, and Emma Jean will find out what the world really thinks of her designs. In search of valuable life lessons, Stewart also seeks to provide a heartfelt example of the depth of a mother’s love. “Emma Jean expresses her love for her daughter through sewing,” Stewart said. “And it ultimately speaks volumes.”
