Does anyone else make their own clothes

I have been ordering fabrics from american sites and always get less than $40 worth. The tax on anything over is high

the sewing forum is a fantastic chatroom re anything to do with sewing. I seem to be spending ages on there.

Addicted? Me? Nah, only about 200 yards of different fabrics stuffed in various places round the house....

Phew! Just finished sewing my Mum's Mothers' day present. Has been soooooo long since I did any embroidery - had forgotten how sore your finger ends get. Shame I'm totally incapable of using a thimble. Does anyone else have a solution to this? Or should I just toughen up by doing it more often? :rolleyes:

Here's a link to the finished article (she hopes....): http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=773629 Am quite pleased as it is made entirely from (admittedly some rather generous) scraps.

Went to fabric shop yesterday (its becoming a bit of a habit). Got some blue hawaiian print stuff for a skirt and some nice green-y linen. Don't know what to make with the linen though...
