Five years ago I didn't even know how to work a sewing machine! :lol: But, my daughters were growing out of their toddler stage and growing UP! They were taking after DH, who is 6'8" and nothing that fit them int he waist was fitting them in length in the stores so a friend at church gave me a lesson on my machine and a rundown on sewing pattern lingo. It wasn't until 3 years ago that I learned how to quilt.
Right now I'm on break from quilting to make some skirts for my girls that go below their knees. My youngest is still in her princess mode so I'm making her some skirts as well.
