I was tall and thin most of my life. When I was a child, purchased clothing never worked. By the time if was long enough, it was way too wide. As a result, I have had hand made clothing most of my life. Clothing that fits has gotten better because I am not as thin now and clothing sizes are more all over the map.
I started sewing when I was 9 and in 4-H. By the time I was in h.s., I made most of my own clothing and did for many years afterwards. A couple decades ago, I was much busier than I had ever been in the past, and began purchasing more of my clothing.
I do still sew, but more of what I sew is things like curtains, pillow covers, napkins, and other house goods and more practical things.
This past winter I sewed a polar fleece jacket for myself. The pattern was a bit odd, and I am not 100% happy with it, but I still get compliments on it from complete strangers.
I have made coats, jackets, dresses, pants, blouses, vests, costumes, and aprons, probably more items I don't remember. I made a western shirt for a friend once, which was not easy. Too many inserts and pieces to add.
When you sew, others want to jump on and have you sew for them. I have never asked, broadcast, or advertised that I sew, other than by wearing clothing I have made. I did sew some banquet tablecloths for Crown Center in Kansas City once, because I was asked to. I also made a wedding dress for a friend, decades ago. Now, I decline sewing requests.
