And, don't think I would want to. The hardest thing I ever made was a pair of blue jeans and Bluejean jacket. I was so proud of it, but didn't care to make more.

I used to love sewing and have put stays and interfacing into some garments and that is a difficult process. I don't think my eyes nor fingers could do the work anymore. Love the pics!
