I also used, enjoyed it for my young children, then I made myself a pretty jumper loved the fabric, loved the pattern put it on and hated it. Would have returned it to rack! Stick to quilts now and always happy with results.

I'm actually more of a "sewer" than a quilter, which makes me a "fraud" on this board. I sew a lot of flannel PJ's at christmas and fleece outfits more of the time. I don't sew much for myself, but have kids and grand kids to work on.

In high school, I started sewing for myself and my family. Over the years, I have made everything from men's suits to evening gowns. I also did home dec. sewing like sofa covers, draperies, etc. Now I sew only for my granddaughter. I love smocking and heirloom sewing.

I do, make some for me, a lot for grand daughters

I have been sewing since I was 14 and have done things like fake fur coats and matching outfits for my kids down to home decor and mending for others. I still sew for my grandbabies on occassion and I love it. Now that I have all the time I need to do it I do not have the money to finance it.lol

I sew!! I have 3 daughter and made the majority of their clothes growing up. Just finished another purse and am currently making costumes for a local high school musical. In the past 6 years, 2 daughters were married and I made a total of 12 bridesmaids dresses, flower girl dress and a wedding gown!!

I do not know of a sewing board, but I have doing regular sewing for 47 years. I have made clothes for father, sister, neices, husband, a great-neice and now a new baby on the way in August. I find that any kind of sewing is theraputic for me. If I find a sewing board will let you know or you can chat with me on this site any time. Jeanniebelle

I sew sew, I love to sew, it is so gratifying to see the finished project! Learned to sew sew in 4-H over 50 years ago.

I started sewing in the 7th grade. Made a lot of my clothes
in high school. When my daughter arrived I made all her
clothes untill my machine bit the dust. We were young and
poor. I did not sew again for several years. Boy did I miss it. Now I have my own sewing room an excelent machine
and not enough time. I love making childrens cloths. Eirloom things are a favorite. I did a beautiful christening gown, bonnet, and slip. Love doing doll clothes
and now quilts. All I need now is MORE TIME. Brenda from

I used to sew my boys clothes when they were younger. But I was very fearful of zippers. They ended up wearing cotton sports type pull on shorts and pants & I used to tell them they were trend setters. They accepted that answer until they were about 6 & 7. Then it was regular zipper shorts & pants. They still tease me about how I "manipulated them".
