a pair of shorts — and oh so proud to wear them!

Since then I’ve made from scratch my own wedding dress, baby clothes, my daughters’ prom dresses, men’s suit jackets, my dazzling competitive dance roller skating costumes and nursing uniforms, thick drapes, quilts, crocheted blankets, and on and on. So much fun!

To this day, sewing is my therapy when I need to tune out (which is often these days).

So glad to see the new trend, and strongly approve.
