I like practical crafts - always have. I love having things that I have made for myself. Most of the time I like to use "recycled" fabric (otherwise know as old clothes and fabric from thrift stores) because if my projects don't turn out I don't stress it as much. But recently I've started buying fabric. My great grand father was a tailor; he made suits for my father and his brothers and ran his own tailor shop. I'm really sad that the local tailor has faded from most American cities. I think it is a pipe dream to think that it could come back, what with cheep clothes from China, Vietnam and other industrializing countries, but I love the idea of making clothes for myself and those closest to me.

    Hello! Still in Vietnam I see, I just got back from Taiwan last week and I'm still spinning from the time change!! How are things where you are? I see your looking for Textiles is this for business? I went to TW on business and to work with Vendors on paintball products and apparel.

My sister has rearranged our living room into the sewing studio so I'll be Very busy creating soon!
