I used to make my own clothes until I finally realized how horrible they looked. I had a hard time finding a pattern that fit (I was just average figure), hard time fitting a pattern to fit, picking the right material for the pattern, etc., etc., etc. So, now I make quilts... LOL... wish I could wear them because they are pretty... oh if we could only make slits for arms and necks and wear rectangles I would be in business.
