Do You Sew Clothes?

I did. For many years I made my own clothes

 and when our kids were young, I made theirs too.

When I started quilting, I got out of making clothes, but every so often I get that call. ;-)

This time, it really was a call!

My DD needed a vendor apron for a craft fair.

I loosely followed the tutorial on Crafty Staci's blog~

I made it shorter for my DD and used velcro instead of a button, I switched the placement for the two pockets and a few other things. DD loved it, which was the whole idea. :-)

I also made a dress for DGD.


 This was a McCall's pattern (I can look up the number if you need it)

It was a quick sew, and I enjoyed it. A nice change from my usual sewing.

Now I am thinking about getting back into it and making myself a few tops...

maybe...

Do you sew clothes?

Until next time~

Happy stitchin', whatever you are making!!

Yes - sewing clothes was definitely where I started my sewing. Made most of my own, even including a coat after taking a tailoring class.. And since I had 2 girls I made my share of cute little outfits for them as well. The last garment that I made was a graduation dress for my oldest in 1999. She picked out the fabric and pattern. They still beg for mending sometimes.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
