LOL as you see I sew sew. I I rarely make clothes anymore but used to sew for me, my kids, and the home, now mostly for the home. I also make cloth dolls, restore antique dolls which often means vintage clothes or new bodies. When kids were young I took a jeans class and made ten pair the first week. Kids are age 31 to 45 now, so thats in the past. I like heirloom sewing also. Good board is http://sewing.patternreview.com/. There are many others.

I sew clothes, made my own wedding dress 39 years ago, back when mini was the hem length. I made clothes for my sisters, shirts for hubby, little boy clothes for our son. Then later hubby and I got into covering snowmobile, motorcycle and boat seats. I've done a lot of sewing over the years besides quilts and crafts.

I started sew sewing for my dolls at age 4 and still sew sew all sorts of things. Love sew sewing for my baby grandson and do still sew sew for myself occasionally.

I sew sew. I sew clothes (mostly for my children when they were younger). But now that they are grown I sew mostly draperies, pillows, and decorator items. I sew much better than I quilt -- but practice makes perfect -- right? I have only completed one baby quilt, and am in the process of piecing my first large quilt.

I sew sew. Anything you name it. clothes for my kids , halloween costumes, handbags and purses, for plays at church & school, hemming for folks, flower girl dresses, curtains. And I need to get back to sewing my own clothes, shopping today, left disgusted without buying a thing. Can they not make a long blouse? The woes of being tall :lol:

So many free patterns on line that I seldom look at them i store..I want to try making some toddler size clothes, and some cloth diapers. The kind I use to use.
Now days everything is throw away.

I wish I could. I've never tried it. The idea of measuring fabric for clothing intimidates me like no other for some reason. I've made throw pillows for our couch, but that's it. Someday I will make pjs or something that can be worn. I really want to.

I sew sew. I love making clothes for my grandkids (all four got flannel lined jackets for Christmas this year); pillows, curtains, beds for my dogs. I used to make a lot of my own clothes (even made my own prom and wedding dress) but not so much in the past 25 yrs. But I think I'll be getting back into that now that my kids are grown and on their own. I even made a good friend's wedding gown when they renewed their vows (it was my "present" to them). Pattern prices are horrible. If you have a JoAnn's near you watch their sales, you can sometimes get them for a buck!

I've been sewing most of my life. I've only been quilting since (I was going to say since my daughter was about 5 then I realized how long ago that was, she's 41!) Where did the time go. Can you imagine how many miles our machines have traveled if stitches were miles!

Are the patterns for clothes complicated? They look complicated.
