Amen Tara. I can't sew to save my life! My mom was looking into making some things for me and we found that after buying all the materials, etc, paying to ship them to me from her (she's in Nebraska) that it was actually cheaper to buy from barkingdogclothes.com. I'd still like to learn to sew, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I admire everyone who does, I tried it when I was younger and got SO frustrated when I made mistakes, I'm scared to try again!
