I sew, have made my own clothes since I was about 10. Of course now I wear jeans and sweatshirts, so I don't make my own clothes any more. But I have made several wedding gowns, which I also designed. I have made flower girl and bridesmaid dresses. I also do a lot of home dec sewing. With the prices of clothes in Marshalls, etc. it just doesn't make sense to sew apparel any more. I made all my kids clothes, and my grandkids layettes too.

I have done clothing construction since I was 12 or 13. I made my wedding dress, (it was the 60's so it was pretty simple) and a lot of clothes for my girls. The last dresses I made were for my granddaughters but they have reached the age of jeans and tee shirts.

I also made dust ruffles for a designer for a while.

The poor quality of the patterns has been discouraging the past few years.

My job now seems to be teaching my 10 year old granddaughter to sew. She is interested in fashion design...for the moment.;)

I also sew, sew. Right now I am making a "Kate Smith" dress for my GD who is going to sing God Bless America in a 1940 show. I also love making doll clothes. I do some sewing for me, mostly t shirts and pjs.

I started sewing when I was about 5. Since then I have done needlepoint, embroidery by hand and machine, cross stiitch, made my own clothes, took courses and was a professional dressmaker and then found quilting.

I enjoyed this so much, that I took classes to qualify as a teacher and now teach this in a local community centre. Give me a needle, even a knitting one and I will do something with it, and I forgot crochet...... can do that badly too! LOL.

Hello David;
I am a retired clothing designer, I have been sewing all my life. I am now very much into making quilts. I find it relaxing as well as rewarding. It is very much like doing a painting. It was good to see another guy on the board.

I used to sew clothing when my girls were small. I made several bridesmaids gowns years ago and the last article of clothing I made was a prom dress back in 1994. I much prefer quilting!!
