nhweaver...we try to do this to.
I am not very good at making clothes, but I do try. I've made some lounge pants for my son. It was so much fun having him pick out fabrics for them. He's been wearing them for months now. I did buy a few more patterns for the kids. I bought a nice pants pattern for my son and a ruffled skirt pattern for the girls.
My mom made some of our clothes when my sister and I were young. My mom said we would pick out fabric and tell her to "whip up a new shirt for school" in the mornings....lol. We still laugh about just whipping up new stuff all the time.
It's good to reuse items to get more life out of them.
