QUILTHER

I used to make all my kids clothes till they got to middle school and made most of mine. Now I am dipping back into it. I can't find shirts I like and don't know if I will get back into pants or not. I also like to make vests and jackets/coats.

I use to sew every thing I wore and a lot of what my boys wore but now it is just quilts.

I started out sewing just clothes - I remember telling my sister, who is into quilting but doesn't have the time anymore, that sewing quilts just didn't interest me. Now I quilt more than I sew clothing, but I still like to sew myself and my kids clothes from time to time.

www.patternreview.com has reviews of patterns, sewing machine, etc. by users of the site as well as some very helpful forums.

Oh yes, I sew, from curtains to making & covering my couch seat, chairs and lots of pillows. I use to make my own clothes. Love to sew!!!

Oh, David....PLEASE let us know when you do find a good sewing board! I have a 15-year old friend who wants to learn (they don't teach sewing in school any more), such a loss!

My hubby wears Hawaiian shirts almost exclusively. He likes the front and the pockets to match, and since those shirts tend to be a little spendy, I make them for him. Plus...he likes the Alexander Henry girls... LOL

Here he is with his mom, sister and brother at Christmas in one of the shirts I made for him. :)

I used to sew all the time--making clothes that is. I must admit since I started making quilts, I have sort of had "tunnel vision" don't want to do anything else!

I sew sew a bit: have done western-type vests, some pajama pants, dolls & their clothes, rice packs for your neck, tote bags, a valance or two, etc. :)

I sewed just about all my girls' clothes when they were growing up, as well as my own. Only sew for the little ones now, but it is fun creating. Difference is, it has to fit whomever it is made for and sometimes that part is difficult.

I have a man friend that makes all his own shirts. Remember tailors were always men in the old days. I think they have a better eye for color.
