I would say, sewing your fathers clothes will be part of the healing process. You will actually find it enjoyable. Make sure you make something for yourself too. I didn't keep anything of my parents when they died but it is very popular and I have done lots of them for others. I think it is a blessing to them. I make quilts and bears and bunnies out of peoples clothes. I have four reversible quilts and four bears going right now. Along with my sons full bridal party, flower girl, bridemaids and brides dress. :lol:
