But reccessions usually see a returning of many who left the craft ... mirjam |

I think a lot are back to making their clothes, or at least for kids. |

I think a lot are back to making their clothes, or at least for kids. Money is tight for a lot of folks. They may be making clothing for the family, just making holiday outfits, or they might be making gifts. I was in line for fabric to be cut behind some people that thought zig-zagging the edge of plush would make good blankets for Christmas gifts. I did not have the heart to tell them how much the plush will stretch if you are not very careful. I stretch the plush on dress hem lines to have the lettuce leaf finish. Yes, the plush makes nice warm dresses or overdresses. Great for people who chill easily. |
