Marge Gorman became involved in the doll world in 1996 after her retirement as a contract analyst with the State of California. She became president of the Tayos Doll Club 1998 and began to build her reputation as a doll artist. While perfecting her skills, she began designing and teaching doll making under her new business name Mrs. Sew & Sew. She has won numerous awards and ribbons for her creativity and imagination.
