I live in Wisconsin and work from home for a pattern company. I guess you can say I work in communications. I love to sew when I can find the time! My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 7 years old and have been sewing since that time. I have twin daughters that are Juniors in college, and I have a teen son in high school. I have been married to my high school sweetheart since 1986. Now that my children are pretty much beyond the children's clothes stage I sew for nieces and nephews and I do the occasional dress, skirt or what ever for my very petite 21 year old daughters. They are 5'2" tall about 100lbs with 30" bust, 24" waist, 30" hips, so it is very difficult to find RTW in adult clothing for them. My son shares my sewing bug and loves to make costumes. You can view one of his costumes at my blog sew4my3.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00:00:... if you snoop around on there you can see some of my creations as well. Happy sewing!
