I'm going to send her a link to this thread, she will be thrilled to hear that someone loves her pattern. :D

I'm not much for shopping for clothes when there's so much fabric out there to buy. :lol:

I have made all the clothes for my family (we have 10 children). Although I haven't done any in the last couple of months, I designed and made my daughter's wedding gown and another daughter's afterbaby wardrobe. I make all of my son's shirts because he is very tall. I also make all of my husband's clothes. I don't make jeans because they are hard on sewing machines. Tee shirts, boxers and pj pants are always on order from my kids.
Long ago it was alot cheaper to make the family's clothing. Now, there isn't a cost savings, but the quality and fit more than make up for it. And my kids think it is fun to have homemade clothing. Go figure.
