I too think you will do fine sewing clothing ... I think anyone who can make complex quilts can certainly make clothes. If you do get into making clothes and like it, you'll love making clothes for your kids.
The listing on eBay didn't have any of the instructions for me to read. It'll be several days, if not a week, before I get the patterns so I won't be able to read through them until then.
I went ahead and decided to try my hand at a little pillowcase dress for my daughter tonight. It's coming along nicely. I've got everything but the hem at the bottom done. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I finish it. :)
