Thanks! Garment sewing is different in that you're trying to make flat pieces fit a round from, rather than keeping them flat. I don't think it's harder if you have a decent grasp on spatial relationships, but it is a change.
Currently I'm working on a wardrobe for my grand-niece's new doll, who's a clone of the Wellie Wishers. It's been going slowly because the patterns aren't quite right for the doll so I'm having to do some pattern manipulation. Other things on my to-do list include making a nightgown for a friend, altering a pair of pants for another friend, and getting my sewing room more organized. My sister currently has 3 of my quilt tops which she's supposed to be working on with her longarm, but I'm starting to think I'll never see those again, at least not finished, and I'm not looking forward to doing them on my regular machines.
