Like some others who've replied, I made clothing for other people as well as home dec things from pot holders to pillows, decorated tea towels, embroidered wall hangings, table toppers and painted t-shirts for a craft business I was in with 2 other ladies. I got to where I hated the sight of my sewing machine. I didn't like the repetiveness of making a dozen of this or that ( still can't make more than 3 of the same quilt block before getting tired of it!) and I found I had a difficult time making something I didn't like. I got out the craft business stopped, sewing for others and didn't sew a stitch for several years.
Now I sew what I want when I want - got my creative mojo back and love my sewing machine(s). And the only people I will sew for is my family and sometimes I have refused them!! :thumbup:
