I've just been getting back into sewing. It is hella frustrating, but I like having clothing I like.

I love sewing, I happened to give away my machine before leaving CA so we did not have to transport it all the way here. I used to do it all the time... I used to make ren fair clothing, quilts, and costuming for the LARP I helped run. SHHHHHH! don't tell anyone about the LARP *grins* What are you making?
