I sewed garments for years & transitioned to quilting about 15 years ago. I will still make the occasional piece of clothing. I need a few dresses & was just looking at patterns the other day. I made my husband a shirt a few years ago. He loves everything Christmas so I decided to make him a Christmas Hawaiian type shirt (we lived in CA at the time). I had put the sleeves in & was patting myself on the back about how well I did & how I still "had it". I held it up to admire it & I had cut a big hole in the sleeve when trimming the seam!!! After a trip for more fabric & some ripping it did turn out to be a great shirt!
