Well if you decide not to wear them out in public, they ill always work for wearing when doing yard work, or relaxing. if you make it why not wear it. I have to giggle sounds like something my daughter (who doesn't sew) would do. I have a dear friend that I am teaching to sew, not garments, but quilting and she has really taken to it, she has made 8 jelly roll quilts since the last part of November. This week I hope to teach her how to bind a quilt, all of these have just been pillow cased I call them (turned inside out) and tied.
