When I sewed only clothing...I was a 3. That's probably why I was never able to wear 1/2 of what I made. I got into a phase of sewing stuffed dolls...then I was a 1. Now that I'm working on quilted bags and other things I would say I am a 2. There are some days that 3 creeps in and even 1 once in a while...but not too often.
