Do You Make Your Own Clothes?

Brigitte · 01-04-2007, 08:15 AM

My mother was a home ec teacher before getting married and having kids, so yes, I do know how to sew. Do I sew clothes? No, though I have. I helped my mom make my wedding dress even, as well as prom dresses in high school. Nowadays, no, I haven't made anything other than decor type items and the infamous strollers we bring to DL. My grandmother taught me to knit when I was a kid too, but I have forgotten how for the most part. I loved to cross stitch for a while too, but haven't even done that in years. I need to get back some time to do some scrapbooking as I have my mother-in-law's pictures here that need to be put in albums.

I'm always in awe of women who sew their own wedding dress.

I have two teen daughters, both of whom like to go to formal dances. The younger one loves to sew. We made this together. Check out how the cherry blossoms match up. It's hard to see the top of the dress but it's strapless and has a little bronze tulle shrug.
