I'm a seamstress from WAY back. When hubby's mom was alive, she and I were a great team, and we used to sew for people. I did the machine work, she'd do the hand work. She did BEAUTIFUL stitching!
However, those were the days when fabric was much cheaper than it is today. You used to be able to find fabric for almost nothing. I'd stock up on my faves and whip out a dress in a day. As I was sewing one outfit, my mind was working on the next. If I saw something that I liked on someone on TV, I'd copy it. I remember in particular a darling sailor suit that Suzanne Pleshette wore on "Newhart"; it was ADORABLE, and I just HAD to have it. So, I found a pattern that was real close to the original, and I just modified it. When I went to work the next day, I had it on.
Sewing can be VERY satisfying -- but unfortunately it isn't the cheapest way to go anymore. Fabric is just WAAAY too expensive!
..... BTW, why do you ask, HM?
