I have been sewing since I was five and I love to work from patterns that I have altered I also draft my own patterns and sometimes just drape clothing. I love working on formal wear (I have 3 in high school) and I adore making prom gowns. I also do a lot of heirloom sewing both by hand and machine. I was fortunate to be a Girl Scout leader and had a great time teaching them to sew.

I have been sewing since I can remember. My mom would hand me her scraps to keep me busy and I would fashion outfits for my Barbies. I graduated to the machine and was making dresses for events as ear ly as 7-8th grade. I designed and made most of my formals in high school. I always thought I would end up designing costumes for ice scaters or something. Instead I sew for my 3 kids and have a WHAM business, Stinky D and Sweet Stuff Creations. I have HC, The Lil Shoppe, and a store on Etsy.
I just started getting into making clothing for my ds and I love love love Ottobre. They have the cutest things for boys which are always hard to sew for.

I love to sew clothes...I just finished 2 peasant tops, and am now working on 2 skirts for valentintes day. I love to sew for my kids & neiec & nephw, as well as my sil. I am also getting ready to try y hand at sewing an ice skating dress ..a little nervous but very excited
I sew a lot for my 2 DDs. Mostly pajamas and dresses for them. I use store bought patterns, but thinking that I'll have to look into others, seeing how much others love them!
Yes, I have made clothes mainly for my baby girl. I plan to make some more skirts and dresses for my 7 year old, she likes that she can pick out her own fabric.

I make doll clothes, does that count?
Although I rarely, if ever even consider using a pattern... I just kinda wing it, and somehow it turns out right .
The only thing I use for making sure I get things the right size is my doll herself!
