Blouses. They’re fun and versatile and generally do not take a lot of fabric so I get to sew more projects.

My favorite thing to make is bags. They could be purses, make up cases, wallets, etc. I like these because the sewing is not too challenging.

Separates for work. I can’t find clothes that fit me well especially pants

I love making fancy or special occasion clothing because you get to add all those extra details and trim that would just be too much for everyday wear. For example the Quineanera dress I made for my daughter a few years back. http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/quineanera-dress

I liked sewing little girl’s dresses, but I don’t have any little girls to sew for right now.

I like making dresses because I like to wear dresses than pants. But my ultimate sewing goal is to make a perfect pair of jeans that fits me!

I am enjoying making baby girl clothes for my 2 month old sweetie!

I love making clothes out of used vintage patterns, it’s fun daydreaming about what the original owner may have made.

I like making dresses and in general, clothes for myself. But dresses are my favourite since I pick different patterns with new things to learn each time.

I like to make dresses best. A dress is a whole outfit, and your whole body can be the canvas for creativity in fabric and style!

My favorite things to make are costumes. I look forward to making my daughter’s costumes every year for Halloween and Christmas. It’s a chance for me to expand my imagination as she feeds me hers and we come up with some pretty cool costumes! By the time I am done making them I have paid for materials and fabric more than what it would have cost me had I bought one for her but the end results are so worth it!

I like to make pillows and skirts- they’re quick and easy

Things for kids. It’s always so exciting to give them a present I made and have them visibly enjoy it. So, that can be clothes, toys, or blankets. If they like it, I melt. :)

Clothing in general, more specifically prom dresses or casual tops!

I make quilts and would love to make a nice quilt using your fabrics. I am retired and make quilts to make a little money to help out. Have a Merry Christmas

I like to make bags. They’re always handy, and they don’t have to fit perfectly. :) I also love to make clothes for my daughters.

I love to make pillows and skirts. Pillows are fun gifts and an easy way to refresh home decor. I love to use different fabrics and accents depending on the season. Skirts are easy and a great way to express your personality!

My favorite thing to make is boxers!!! I have three boys and I make their boxers all year long. I get a kick out of it because I get to find funny, cool and fun fabrics for them.

My favorite thing to make is a fitted blazer. I have always want one, but since i’m so petite. None fitted me right.
