I do find that since I've been sewing, I become bored with garments a bit faster than when I was wearing all RTW. I do assume it's partly because I love sewing so much. If I only sewed when I "needed" new clothes that would make me sad :)<br /><br />Eagerly awaiting the full posts and how amazing that you get an entire summer of long weekends!!!SewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-9462062858925782162016-07-04T22:47:13.939-04:002016-07-04T22:47:13.939-04:00Irene - I'm spoiled.

After working my life away on my last job, this is what I wanted most, my time back.
