| NOPE! You're not crazy! I would be doing the same thing to if I knew how to sew. PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO SEW IS SO TALENTED! . . . I dont' even have my baby YET and I've already spent nearly $300 on her supplies/clothes/everything else. And I'm still looking! Now am I crazy? haha.

| hehe girl you are certainly not alone your hubby should be glad that you can sew, otherwise it would cost him a fortune for all the clothing, bed and blanket, etc. I've had my girls for over three years now, and Im still costantly buying them cute things. they have a whole dresser (a real tall one with 6 big drawers) full of clothing and accessories, and still in need of extra room for storage

| I'm old...when I was growing up, little girls learned to sew as a matter of course. We were even required to take a sewing class in school! I started when I was about 7, embroidering dish towels as an activity to keep me occupied while the adults were busy. Then I was allowed to make doll clothes on my grandmother's treadle machine (the theory was that I couldnt' get that treadle going fast enough to hurt myself!). I've done the layettes for my babies, and my daughter was a teen during the Gunne Sax craze...couldn't afford to buy them, so I made them. And now I have a new baby coming to sew for, just tinier and hairier than the first batch!

Don't they teach sewing in school anymore? If nothing else, a class allows you to learn the difference between a poorly constructed garment and a good one. I often wondered if the popularity of specific brands is a result of people needing someone else to tell them what is well made.

But I'm glad I can sew...not only has it given me a lot of pleasure over the years, it has saved me a bundle of money and given me many unique items. Now, Puddin' will have a wardrobe of "designer" duds...with Mama as the designer, of course!

| Your not crazy i can sew but dont have a working machine. So i buy stuff on sale or if it is cute enough that i cant live without it i but it full price. My hubby even puts her in her coat and rain coat to go outside. He even brushes her. So tell your hubby to get into it they all do sooner or later. |

| That's why I love this site...we are all like that!!!! One morning about 3a, my husband rolled over and saw me on my laptop. He said, "Tell me you're not on yorkietalk!" I was!!!!! If I could sew or knit, I probably would have been doing that!! Enjoy your baby girl!! |
