One time a woman wanted a jacket made from on old cutter quilt she had. I met her at a fabric store (a place totally foreign to her!!!) and spent time looking through pattern books to get an idea of what styles would work with the amount of "material" I had to work with. She was insistent on a longer jacket-type pattern and we picked out fabric she liked to trim the jacket. I had to do quite a bit of creative cutting and piecing to make this all work out and I thought this turned out well. When she picked it up, she tried it on - it fit just fine. She looked at herself in a mirror and said "this looks like a bathrobe", made an awful face and left very unhappy (after grudgingly paying me the price we had agreed on). Let me stick to doing my own thing PLEASE!!
