I used to sew a lot when I was able to stay home with the kids and didn't have to work. I made pageant dresses for Traci when she was little. When I have time to find old pictures I will put them on here. (she will kill me but Oh well) She was between two and four when they were made. I haven't sewn in years--probably wouldn't even know how except for little repairs. I keep putting off hemming my son's ROTC pants and repairing Crystal's back pack that has torn up already!

My mother was a very good seamstress and made all our clothes, curtains, even wedding dresses, and she taught me, but haven't sewn much of anything in years. I have her machines and some of my own. Would you believe I have 4 sewing machines, one is a treddle, and one serger. I'd have 5 machines, but one got lost in a move. That's bad to have so many and no time to use them. The one I have setup that I do use a little is one of mothers. It's over 40 years old, but such a good machine. Still get inspired and buy fabric from time to time, but it's in the drawer waiting for someday to come.

Sadly, many things in life are like that...waiting for "someday"
