I used to sew.
This is a chiffon bolero I made for F when she was in elementary school. There was a princess-line dress that went with. Maybe when things settle down I'll have time to sew again.
I can see how hating to sew would squelch your love for fashion design!
The thing about sewing is that you have to be willing to (1) spend a lot of time preparing to do something that, when you do it, may take very little time to do; (2) do other things that take a very long time and are tedious; and (3) not mind ending up with something that you screwed up and can't use, although hopefully you learned something.

I am Laura, southernxyl. Where does "southernxyl" come from? First of all, I am from Mississippi and I've lived in the South since I graduated from college. When I was a kid my brother was a ham radio operator. I learned some of the shorthand expressions hams used to save tapping that key. One was "yl", for "young lady" (girl) and one was "xyl" for "ex-young lady" (woman). So I am a southern ex-young lady.
I live with R, my husband of 30 years, and two cats.

I love people who sew. I used to but I hated it. I guess you have to have a love for it. I had to switch my major from fashion design because of that.

Pick out a house with an extra room for a SEWING ROOM! WHEEEEEEEEE!
