I make my own clothes because the stores just don't carry modest clothing. I wear a lot of jumpers which I make and just buy shirts--if I can find some that don't show a bunch of cleavage and have sleeves in them. My soon to be 11 yr old daughter is convinced that her clothes are "designer originals" because I don't use patterns. She loves the clothes I make for her although I also buy a lot of her clothes. I'm not much for shopping for clothes when there's so much fabric out there to buy. :lol:
