If you're like me (and many other seamstresses/sewists out there these days), you probably learned to sew when you were a lot younger, maybe shelved the activity for a long time, and came back to it later in life. If you're like me, you probably thought, "I will save loads of money and have lots of beautiful garments that will be more individualized than what I can buy off the rack." If you're like me....you probably realized pretty quickly that only half of that statement was true!
