I am completely self-taught. I got my sewing machine like 17 or 18 years ago (I still use the same one!).

I am totally motivated by saving money. I do that with all kinds of things around the house--building things, painting, sewing, even putting in our sprinkler system in the backyard! There is very little that I won't take on if I think I can do it.

I primarily sewed things around the house--curtains, toss pillows, then when we moved into the house, I sewed my entire bedroom. I made it in waverly red country toile--40 yards of fabric!! I made the duvet cover for my down comforter, valances, curtains, a roman shade, euro shams, regular shams, and toss pillows. I said that bedroom was my third child for a month! (this was before I got Chloe). If I ever get my house clean (the shame of it all) I'll post a picture of it.

So when it came to dog clothes, I thought I try it out.
