That's why I started. Although I have a whistle-and-a-half body. Seriously, I can't find clothes in the store that are opaque or cover my "bat-wings". I also have a hunch back and sway back, and big butt, etc. Anyhow. still working on trying to make clothes.
While doing so, I took a quilt class, to meet other people that sew. Made a sampler quilt, got excited about all the ideas and kept on.
I think I started out sewing in an attempt to get things to fit the way I wanted them to. (And that was when I still had a whistle-worthy body!) I didn't succeed very well at that - but I did learn a few things along the way.
I beg to differ, the only thing I get done in a day is a whole lot of seam ripping, LOL! My M.O. is to do it, realize I have done it wrong, then do it again.
I think I sew now because, unlike housework, laundry, and cooking - one can "finish" a project - and not have to redo it the next day or next week.
