I used to sew most of my girls clothes. Then they got older and into jeans. That really tells my age. I was divorsed with 3 girls and they were always asked to birthday parties. We didn't have enough money to buy presents but I had left over material from their clothes so would make a Barbie doll wardrobe. I even made a tuxedo for Ken with the satin strips down the outside of his slacks, a tuxedo shirt, Barbie a wedding dress. Material wasn't that expense then. I learned a lot about of short cuts working on those small items. Also crocheted Barbie dresses. Now that material is so expensive and I can buy what I need, sew sew doesn't interest me. I do make dog coats tho. I enjoy mending too. You should see some of my husbands shirts. He thinks they are neat.
