Re: dressmaking.

I loved dressmaking when my daughters were small and made outfits and costumes for them (and loads of their friends) whilst they were at dancing classes. I do occasionally make things now but it is so hard to find a decent material store. The ones that are left charge stupid prices for fabric and haberdashery supplies that it makes it too expensive to make your own clothes.
I will, however, eventually be making a christening robe with a 2 metre peice of silk from my daughters wedding dress. It was a sash, I haven't cut the dress! I also used to knit but it hurts my hands now. Same applies to wool though, hard to find and flipping expensive!
