It's been a long time since I've been on this forum, and I am happy to be back again!  I began my clothing sewing adventures in the year 2000.  I used to read and study the sensibility website while I was nursing my little girl, who is now 12!  I have enjoyed making dresses from the regency pattern.  I have seven children, five of whom are girls and I would like to sew more for them.  I am interested in learning how to go from a drawing to a dress, and even if I don't acquire that skill, I would love for my girls to learn.  Additionally, I am interested in meeting some seamstresses that could sew for me and my family.  While I dearly love much of womens' clothing from Elizabeth I to 1960, my present interest is in creating a personal style that is modern, though classic and simple.

Thank you, everyone, for the warm welcome!
