I love making purses. I used to sell them in high school. What is your favorite thing to sew?

I lke to sew reenactment clothes for the 17th and 18th centry.I also like to sew horse show clothes for my daughter for her horse shows.
I used to make all my own clothes when I was in high school and made my own wedding gown.
I made the gown that my daughter wore to 8th grade graduation.I had to totally design and hand stitch it because it was satin and it will run sometimes on the sewing machine.I also beaded it.
What kind of purses do you make?

well they were mostly denim bags with chain straps and different designs o nthe outside. I usually put peoples names on them too. They were very unique. I haven't made too many lately since my sewing machine is on the fritz. lol

I sew. When the kids were small I made most of their clothes. Now, I mostly make patchwork Christmas stockings, and quilts. Nobody taught me; I picked it up just like that. I think the most challenging items to sew are clothing, because it has to fit, just right.

I don't know how to sew... I liked shop class better than home ec in middle school. Right now I only sew if I lose a button, or patch up clothes. My husband has a habit of wearing out the crotches of his pants, so I have to sew those up. HA HA! But I've never made anything from scratch through sewing. Good for you!

Actually five years ago to be precise, l use to sew shirts and give them to my friends without collecting money,l guess the joy of it was watching them wear my product.

i used to make dresses for my kids but i haven't done that in a long time because sometimes you can buy the clothes cheaper than you can make them.

What don't I like to sew!!??!!! LOL! I have been sewing up a storm lately. PJ's for my kids seems to be the highest on my list. I love it when they help pick out the fabrics and tell me just how they want the design. We end up with some really cool concoctions.
I've also been sewing Barbie clothes, quilts, and trying to make a coil rug. (BIG CHORE!!!)
I can't wait until I find a few minutes to work on my projects again. Just not today. :(
Sounds like your purses are fun to make. Maybe I'll have to give those a try, too! Have you seen those little girl purses made entirely of zippers? They are so cool, and I'd really like to try making one of those. Sigh. TOO many projects, not enough sewing space. LOL!
