Haven't done any "sewing sewing" in quite a while. Last time I did anything major was a couple years ago when I made Halloween costumes for my God son and I. I went as Morgan Lander of Kittie (God, the pleather was a nightmare) and he went as Link from Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (only thing I didn't actually make from scratch was his long sleeved undershirt, which even then I hand dyed because I couldn't find one in a light green).

I used to sew all my daughters clothes. Little girls dresses are such fun. The boys had superman everything at one point. Capes to curtains! Now they are all teens and homemade is no good, except for the occasional scarf and pillowcase. I do have a very nice t-shirt pattern that looks very dressy if you use a beautiful fabric that drapes well. I make those for myself now for work. What patterns did you buy?

I also sew sew. Have been sewing since I was 12. My granddaughter will soon be 12 and we have talked about me teaching her for the longest time. Maybe this year.

I love to make sun dresses and fancy dresses for my daughter. She is 7 1/2 and very girly. She loves ruffles and bows. I also make matching dresses for her baby doll, little Clara who looks exactly like her (big Clara).

David, I have sewed for over 55yrs and lots more sewing than quilting so if I can help just ask. One time I even made a boat cover. It took up the whole room. Suzanne

I sew sew. I use to make pants, skirts and jackets for me and my daughter, however, after discovering quilting, I sew very seldom. Have two pairs of pants cut out, but that,s it.

I am a much better seamstress than a quilter. I have made a lot of really beautiful things in the past, but would rather quilt now.

I use to make my Children Clothes, and made a few items for myself. When the cabage patch dolls first came out and sold out before Christmas well I made them and made good money, even my mom and dad both ended up helping me cause I couldnt keep up on my own. LOL
