It hurt my feelings that something I took such pleasure in making JUST for her was treated like a piece of trash. I'm very cautious..about who I give things to now.
I don't know if it's the luck of the draw or what. Made dresses for my niece. SIL gave them away. Made REQUESTED jacket for MIL that was given to the cleaning lady. Hoped she enjoyed it. Made baby clothes, bassinet skirt etc, for DIL, REQUESTED, which she sold at the flea market. They didn't like all that homemade stuff.
I'm not a novice sewer. I had my own dressmaking business for years and often couldn't keep up with the demand. Did I sew for them again? Never!!!!!
