I've done a few things over the years, I think I'm going to have to bust out the singer again, Missy loves sun dresses but I don't like the styles with the thin spaghetti straps for her.

My mom is a seamstress/tailor and has made her living as such for most of my life (both industrial and small shops).

She hardly ever ever made clothes for us at home (the cobbler's kids going without shoes kind of thing) and while I'm aware of all that goes into clothesmaking (though small home machines are an enigma to me; I was the only kid in high school home ec making my clothes on industrial sewing machines) that childhood pretty much added "clothesmaking" to "car repair" as a reason I went to college and got a well paying job: so I could pay other people to do it.

It is just a bonus that the other people are generally 8-year-old Bangladeshi children.
