Right now, I’m stuck on long sleeved (I get cold easily) knit dresses.

Clothes. I love making clothes! It’s an addiction. Dresses are usually my thing.

I enjoy making clothes for my daughter. She’s young and busy, so its nice for her too.

Skirts, because I can actually get them to fit me properly, and they are so easy and feminine!

I just love sewing dresses. In particular I like to try and reproduce dresses I have seen at stores, expensive designer dresses. I guess I get some kind of satisfaction out of being able to make the item for 90% less.

dresses for my granddaughters. They are the only ones I think that appreciate my work. My latest was a blue and white dress for my granddaughters 3rd birthday and I told her it was a princess dress. Her mom said she wouldn’t take it off all day on her birthday, told everyone she was a princesses and she wanted to leave it on forever. ;-0

I like making fancy dresses although I don’t get to wear them very often, but it’s so nice to create something chic and elegant.

I love to make costumes! Growing up, I loved Halloween and part of how I learned to sew was through my mom making my brothers’ and my costumes every year. Now, I’m studying production design and costume design at SCAD and hope to spend the rest of my life making my favorite things!

My favorite thing to make is anything for a special occasion cause then I have an excuse to make a big production out of it…

I like making purses and totes – they finish up fast and show off pretty fabrics! ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com

Dresses! Because I feel great when I wear them.

I think I have two favorite types of things to sew: super-complicated, detailed costumes and super-easy instant gratification projects. They both give a different kind of satisfaction. :D

Blouses … preferably sleeveless and collarless so I can use a small amount of really lovely fabric.

i was lucky to get britex fabrics for the burdastyle book, and it was the best jersey i’ve ever used!

I love making gifts for other people… I sew for Christmas for hte smaller kids in my family (lots of cousins and their kids!) and make neat, you-can’t-buy-it-in-store items that make people smile.

Doll Fashions! I love sewing for and dressing my doll collection. Fun, fun!

My favorite things to make are knit tops and dresses because I love knits and find them easy to sew and needing very little or no ironing. Kinda like wash and wear dressing.

Skirts are what I seem to actually finish the most of, however I go back to piecing quilt tops a lot—it’s so much more relaxing, for some reason!

I love making dresses for my little girls because it makes me very content and super happy!
Dec 19, 2011, 06.38 PMby misscrayolacreepy
I like making quilts for others, but I want to become more serious about making clothing for myself!
Dec 19, 2011, 06.37 PMby gemmafloyd
My favorite thing to make is dresses. Why? Because they’re pretty, comfortable, and my favorite thing to wear!
Dec 19, 2011, 06.37 PMby smockinggirl
I love to sew children’s clothes, smock and heirloom sewing. I really want to sew for myself again.

I love making dresses. I think it’s because when you’re done, you have an entire outfit:)

Costumes – I don’t liek my daily clothing to look like it’s asking for attention, but with costumes I can be as creative and wild as i want.

Sexy articles of clothing for my wife, as she loves wearing them for me, and we are on a tight budget as of late.
Dec 19, 2011, 06.31 PMby nani
I love making dresses, but the piece of clothing i’ve made the most is skirts, but i want to get to tops now! :)
Dec 19, 2011, 06.30 PMby lrm
My favorite things to make are bags and purses.
Dec 19, 2011, 06.28 PMby sunintheclouds
My favorite thing to make is usually suits for myself for work. I can custom fit them to my body which is difficult to find a good fit in the stores. But now that I have another little girl on the way, I am so excited to make tiny little dresses again!

Ooooh – great giveaway! I love to make hemp leggings – so soft and eco-friendly! (Plus, I can wear them now whilst pregnant too!)
Good luck everyone! <3 Alex
