Right now I sew all my own clothes and cook all my meals from scratch except Sat night dinner (date night with my boyfriend). I have no taste for television either--in fact, I haven't gotten an antenna to convert my non-digital TV to digital so I get no television at all on the TV (I admit to watching 30 Rock, The Office, and Project Runway online).<br /><br />But still, I can't imagine doing that with kids!!!!!Gretchen the Household Deityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882578423517346342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-85592539290093117352010-03-13T11:51:37.598+10:002010-03-13T11:51:37.598+10:00My DH and I went shopping today for a pair of blac...My DH and I went shopping today for a pair of black dress trousers for him. He tried on 4 pair. Every pair fit perfectly. I can try on 100 pair and maybe 1 pair will fit with alterations! Because of this issue, I don't care how much I spend on fabric and patterns.gwensewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809115166600229262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-5434554750628313022010-03-13T00:33:56.247+10:002010-03-13T00:33:56.247+10:00Did you mention that the elves make 80%?

Seriously, though, my complete tally of homemade clothes in my closet is 18 (19 now as I've just finished a shirt); I've been back seriously sewing for a couple of years and some things have been worn out and I've made things for dolls and kids, so I'd have to say I make 15 garments a year, more or less. 90-100 just blows my mind competely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-60800211352457747182010-03-12T16:02:03.050+10:002010-03-12T16:02:03.050+10:00I am so amazed by your productivity with work outs...I am so amazed by your productivity with work outside and inside the home. It blows my mind to think that every couple of days you have a new garment.<br /><br /> It's a huge compliment to your skills that your teenage children still want you to make stuff for them: that's when I would have expected they'd rather die than be caught in something made by their mum.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-81991930759388745982010-03-12T14:56:39.682+10:002010-03-12T14:56:39.682+10:00I've been enjoying the past fews posts and the...I've been enjoying the past fews posts and the comments....<br /><br />I also relish making food and clothing from scratch. My husband is the same way. In my thinking, there's an art that's "practical" and there's an art that's "aesthetic" (as in gourmet food and crafts). I enjoy the process of making something useful and the knowledge that I did something well even more than the appearance of the end product.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756048999067152284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-12613729877729279482010-03-12T14:29:50.457+10:002010-03-12T14:29:50.457+10:00Great posts and comments.

The quality of mass produced clothing just isn't good enough for me anymore. <br />It taught me a good lesson: it's more important that my fabric stash has the right basics in it. If I'd already had the khaki, charcoal and blue twills, it would have saved time. I just want basic clothes that fit and wear well!
