I didn't sew much for about 10 years either. When I was a high school senior, I made an outfit for a competition. I didn't get to pick the pattern, the fabrics, or the accessories. I had to use what was given to me, and it was an outfit that was about 40 years older than my chronological age. That may be part of what turned me off to sewing clothes. I have had an impossible time finding sleep shorts, and would love to be able to just whip a few pair together like a pair I have that I do like, but I know it's not me.
I need lots more quilting practice too though. Piecing is what I'm good at. I'm not horrible at binding. Quilting, HA! Let's just say my technique leaves much to be desired. Hopefully it'll come though. I've only used my new FMQ foot a few times so far, and patience isn't my strongest attribute.
