I like to go from start to finish, and have just grown up in an area that doing it myself, in anything, is the way to go. I think of my daughter, when she was about 3, we weren't allowed to say the H word (help) or she'd have a fit. Her saying at the time was "Monca do it self"
We bought a house 30 yrs ago that needed so much work, that we did ourselves, it's just the same with my sewing
