Some really great replies here! I am kinda a jack of all trades who does mending and altering for my OWN family. While I wouldn't call myself a seamstress, I do sew some projects from time to time. If I am not quilting, I am sewing, or embrodiering or cooking or baking or out fishing with my dh or something. I like to try and learn many things, I guess therefore I may toot my own horn by doing these things, then people think your so smart, that you can do magic with nothing!
