I made all my kids cloths when they were little even sports coats. I found sewing for myself a little more difficult, My boobs seem top be misplaced! The 5/8 seam after quilting is a hard one to get used to. I used to love to sew my own cloths. This last summer my 7 year old grand daughter made shorts and a top and they were so cute but elastic waist was the key to fitting properly. Try it and have fun!
