I also started sewing clothing when I was a young teenager. From there I continued to sew for myself and for my girls as they grew up. I made their prom gowns, but never a wedding gown. Now I mostly sew quilts, anything from bed quilts to wall hangings to small quilts for Project Linus. Love it. My only regret is that sitting at my sewing machine for a few hours is a "killer" on my back!
