I still make a lot of my cloths I"ve done upolstering on furniture to seats in heavy equipment.The only thing I never had to attempt was doll cloths my GD is so much like me I hated dolls or anything girly -Give me Tonka-Mine got passed down to my son then his kids now to his G-Babies.But my GD loves to sew for her babies and she quilts too :thumbup:

Of course, have been sewing siince I was 5 yrs old. Have made all sorts of clothing & other items, including a wedding dress, jacket. Costumes, alterations, trying my hand at quilting. Working on Hawaiian quilt pieces. Enjoying it.

For years, I made all my clothes. I am pretty tall, and back then, tall sizes were so expensive. I made all my son's shirts and several of his suits. When he graduated from high school, I bought him a suit and he hated it. He said it didn't fit him right.

Heirloom sewing is my first love. Quilting is an off shoot of it. I make baptism gowns for the babies in our family. Am thinking about sewing them for sale. Use the "scraps" from these to make accents in my quilts.
