I used to make all my kids clothes till they got to middle school and made most of mine. Now I am dipping back into it. I can't find shirts I like and don't know if I will get back into pants or not. I also like to make vests and jackets/coats.

I started out sewing just clothes - I remember telling my sister, who is into quilting but doesn't have the time anymore, that sewing quilts just didn't interest me. Now I quilt more than I sew clothing, but I still like to sew myself and my kids clothes from time to time.
www.patternreview.com has reviews of patterns, sewing machine, etc. by users of the site as well as some very helpful forums.

Hopefully I can find as wonderful a board as this one for sewing!

My hubby wears Hawaiian shirts almost exclusively. He likes the front and the pockets to match, and since those shirts tend to be a little spendy, I make them for him. Plus...he likes the Alexander Henry girls... LOL
Here he is with his mom, sister and brother at Christmas in one of the shirts I made for him. :)

I sewed just about all my girls' clothes when they were growing up, as well as my own. Only sew for the little ones now, but it is fun creating. Difference is, it has to fit whomever it is made for and sometimes that part is difficult.
