I never learned to sew. I just don’t have the patience for it. But, it would come in handy.

Adorable! I used to make some of the kids clothes when they were infant /toddlers. And have made a few Halloween outfits, silly winter hats, and recovering projects. I need to whip up a bunch of curtains sometime this week.

I still do a lot of needlecraft projects...mostly Christmas themed ones...a lot of vintage things I find on eBay. And I crochet. ?

My sex life says no.

At this point whatever is 'one of a kind' is gaining popularity and demand. People are starved for that which is flawed but beautiful. Water torture perfect computers are numbing starved brains for subtleties of real, living differences and flaws. That is wherein the music of life lies.

Just like how print media is dead. So sad!!

No, but most do not want to take the time or have the creativity. (I sew when needed but more creative with metal and woods.)

I cross-stitch...

Christmas stocking I made:

Claire. Made the amatuer mistake of gluing on sequins.

When Claire grabbed her stocking, sequins scattered. Last year, running out of matching sequins and stars, I sewed them all on. First, drilled out dried glue in the center of sequins with an X-Acto knife.

Rosie, Claire's cat. Half-Spanish, Claire was seven years old.

Matt, Claire's finace'. Matt never had a Christmas stocking before. He loved it.

Cocoa, Claire's lovable, goofy dog. Half husky and half golden retriever, Cocoa weighs 90 lbs. This looks like Cocoa at one year old.

"No way," I thought, thinking about embroidering round C's and O's. Found a leather boot lace in my sewing box. Cocoa's name took 10 minutes.

"It looks like Cocoa's rawhide chews," Claire's artist dad said.

Life is really made up of small triumphs.

All kinds of boutique businesses are starting everywhere.

A young person we know makes kohlrabi sauerkraut. sells it in the local markets.

Lots of local classes in our area for knitting,....

'Tis an interesting time to do stuff.

My mom was an excellent seamstress. How the term "tailor" doesn't apply is beyond me. But I remember her correcting me so I use that appellation at her behest. I can remember the swell of work she had when I ceded the small bedroom so that she could use it as her.... um. Studio?
And yes, the rattle of her Singer was as Sominex to me.

Every human has need to do something.
Those of us most lucky find work we would do for free.
Some of us must endure long periods to live among the insanity of imbeciles.

I do dollhouses and miniatures and have been trying to learn different fabrics and techniques to make clothing to fit different sized dolls. very challenging to make tiny things!

It's lovely. I did sew some curtains once. They were for my truck, which was my home for a year when I drove around Oz.

Not very competent.
