AllyJay,you are a fabulous knitter! Love the turban and love that you are using your skills to help others.Zoffiel, your coat is amazing! But why have we all stopped sewing for ourselves?I had less time when I was younger and yet I made all my 2 girls their clothes and I worked part time. Now I’m retired,you’d think I’d be in my hobby room all the time.I guess clothes are so cheap now you couldn’t make it for the same price.However, if you want a nice dress that fits,you can’t beat homemade. I ended up making my’mother of the bride’ dress because I couldn’t find anything suitable in the shops.Due to my mastectomy scar,I can’t do low necklines so that ruled out alot
I also refused to spend $400 odd dollars! Anyway,I made my dress for $45 and it fitted and looked great.So come on ladies,let’s get those sewing machines out again.
