I second that. I use to love to sew and design clothes started doing it as a business out of my home when my son was small. I grew to hate the sight of the sewing machine.And I won't even mention the people. I rarely make clothes anymore. Just quilts and belly bands for dogs. Even the belly bands have gotten old I would rather quilt. I did just repair a quilt for a friend and charged her $45 anyone else would have been twice that. But its ok. She gave me some free vitamins which is her business. I would love to be able to supplement my disability though and still have time to do what I want
