Didi - I've been making clothes since I was a teenager. Sat on my mom's lap as a tiny wee one while she hemmed cup towels. Made lots of my family's clothes when the kids were younger. Even matching leisure suits for DH and the boys at one point and matching western shirts a year or so later. Made all their costumes for everything once they were in school, then when we got interested in Renfaires, even more costumes. Now I'm mostly doing quilting. Although DD has requested that I think about making a friend a kilt before TRF in Oct. Have also been hemming draping for our booths at faire. And I wonder why I don't get as much done on any of it as I want to!!!
