Seeing that pretty little dress reminds me of all of the dresses that I made for my nieces when they were little. Sadly, I had no daughters and have no granddaughters to sew for. Until about 2005, I would have considered myself a seamstress and not a quilter. I had probably made a few baby quilts before then, but until a joined a quilt guild, quilting had not been a serious hobby for me.

Once, I was as passionate about sewing as I am now about quilting. So, I've sewn almost everything, including a fitted lace wedding dress with boning, tulle and a train. That was long before digital cameras, so I don't have any photos readily available to attach to this note--I'd have to scan them. Unfortunately, I don't feel as proficient with my quilting as I once did with sewing clothing. Now, that I rarely sew clothing anymore, I have probably lost some proficiency at it. I certainly would no longer attempt a wedding dress.

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	So, seeing that we are all surrounded by fabric, what have you made out of fabric that is not quilted? I have just stepped out of my comfort zone and made a dress for my granddaughter. The first time ever that I attempted an item of clothing. The light fabric is a standard cotton, the dark red is a silk and I trimmed it with a cotton lace.
