When my husband and I got married and combined our households, he got absolutly giddy when he started unpacking my 6 sewing machines and all the other sewing related items. Yes, I gave him one of the machines, and made up a real nice sewing kit including a rotery cutter, mat and a lesson on rotery cutter saftey. (which he isnt so good at). Long story short, he made my wedding dress. And made it from BDU blouses. (Army shirts). The day before the wedding I had a final fitting and he scrutinized the dress then to my shock, took the scissors and made a slash at the neckline. I gasped! He didn't like the way it looked, so he added yoyo's. It was great. Still not sure if I like 'sharing' my sewing stuff. Kinda like having a sister...
