Good for you....sometimes you just have to do something different for yourself. I can't remember the last article of clothing I made, somewhere around 2006 probably and it was a simple summer dress. Have often thought about making simple summer dresses again, but then I chicken out. Maybe if I had a serger I would give it a try again.

Great job on your new projects. Sewing knits on a serger makes it so much faster and easier, doesn't it?!
I was a Home Economics major many, many years ago and made everything from bathing suits to tailored coats but pretty much quit when the kids were past toddler stage and developed personal preferences LOL The last clothing item I made was a dress as mother-of-the-bride in 2017 while I was in the throws of receiving chemo for breast cancer. I was so tired so didn't want to go shopping, so just did baby steps to complete the simple dress. I actually wore it again this past week at a luau in Hawaii to celebrate our 50th anniversary with all the kids and grandkids. It was not a knit, but a rayon batik.
