It felt very empowering to be able to follow a pattern and end up with clothes. Combine a vintage fabric obsession, a vintage pattern obsession and a vintage sewing machine obsession and you have a very content man with plenty of clothes.
Sorry, Miriam, you still haven't met one who quilts, but you never know. I really like the two that were sewn for Audrey when she was born. She still really loves them and takes the smaller one everywhere!
