I like making short sleeve shirts for myself because the ones I buy are too short for my taste. I have bat wings :( I feel that even though they are more expensive than some I could buy at certain stores, the really GOOD garments cost much more than I would spend. Other than that, I gave up sewing my own clothes years ago. I love making the twins matchy outfits for special events because its so difficult to find something for a boy and a girl that coordinate.
