We have a niece who sews/quilts (learning). Just recently found out our oldest DGD has taken up sewing. She likes "Cosplay" and making her own costumes. Not exactly sure what Cosplay is but she says it's dressing up as a favorite video game character, like Trekkies stuff. ANyway have given some things to them. DGD just recently purchased her first sewing machine. Will be happy helping her with that. We have renters insurance and I keep all receipts as far as anything in regards to sewing/quilting. Machines and notions are not cheap.
