I started sewing garments in 4th grade and sewed for myself esp in high school. Gunny Sack dresses were popular when my girls were younger, so I've made lots of those. Also sewed for my grands until they got older and mostly want store bought. I have been collecting patterns and fabric lately and want to start sewing for myself again. I've quilted for almost 20 years now and love it, but sure enjoyed sewing too.
