OH how I miss doing this with the DD. She and I used to sew up a storm after going and getting material in the basement sewing room, before we moved to the Western Slope. We would start sewing for christmas in June and be done by October (sewing on Saturdays)but we had quilts done, clothing done. It was a blast for us, we would get chinese food (share some with DH who was upstairs doing whatever!).
