I've been sewing for over 60 years & still do make my own blouses, robes, etc. I sewed all my daughter's clothes through college plus her wedding dress. My son loved "Moms" special shirts. At one time I made nylon backpack tents & sleeping bags for my Boy Scout son & husband. You name it, I'll try it. I'm on my 5th sewing machine. (2 were gifts)
Let's see, what was the question? :-)
