Enjoyed this one. Brought to mind a sister-in-law who I watched make a sewing pattern out of newspaper. She was a whiz at sewing and taught me how to sew my little girl's dresses. The fancy ones with little puffed sleeves and smocking on the bodice. Can't say I really enjoyed the tedium of basting and heming. Haven't sewed in years.
I do not sew as much as I used to either. Most of what I do is repairs for the neighbors and my mail lady too!

Used to sew alot. Spent the summer between my Jr & Sr year of HS making clothes for a neighbors daughter to start kindergarten in. Made clothes for my daughter especially her prom dresses also did some for a neighbor. I also so made my wedding dress and veil and my going a way dress. Just play with my machines now, but not much would rather do puzzles.
When my children were young I sewed a lot for them
haven't made a garment in about 2 yrs
hemmed a couple pair of pants on sewing machine lately.
I miss sewing and quilting
I have a quilt that my mother was making. Have a lot done but just have not been in the mood to work on it and now that it is spring I have my gardening to do, and all my spring cleaning too!
