MURFREESBORO,Tenn. - He loves sports, video games, and riding four-wheelers, but an eleven-year-old from Rutherford County knows his very favorite hobby is one that might surprise you. His motivation behind it might bring you to tears.
"Sometimes when you have chemo, you'll lose your hair," said Preston Allen. "And it was cold outside, so I started sewing hats to warm my head up, and then I had the idea to send them to other kids."
Preston's skill on the sewing machine, at first, surprised even his mother.
"I took the pattern out of the package and traced it onto cardboard for him so that it wasn't so flimsy, and he went to town," said Tonya Allen.
Preston soon started sewing so fast, his mom couldn't keep enough fabric stocked in their house.
During a trip to Hancock Fabrics in Murfreesboro, they met store manager Polly Blair. It's an introduction Polly says she'll never forget.
