My heart goes out to you! I understand how you feel, it's really hard to understand how someone could possibly want a store bought item over a home made one. For some reason, some people feel home made is inferior to store bought. :roll: :roll: I look at some of my first attempts at quilting or sewing and can truly understand their fears. My first projects were quite a sight. I thought they were wonderful at the time, but now, I know that I can do so much better. :roll: My son makes furniture. People always want him to build them a desk or a cabinet, then when they ask the price, their first response is, I can buy that at Ikea for 1/4 the price. My son always tells them to knock themselves out. I have the first project he ever made, a lop sided cover for a box of Kleenex, I will keep it forever. The sewing machine cabinet he designed and created for me a couple of years ago, still gives me the warm and fuzzies every time I sit down and sew.
