My grandmother sewed, my mother sewed, and now I sew.  I know in this day and age it is much cheaper to go out and actually buy clothes from the store, but I love sewing dresses for my daughters.  Sewing Halloween costumes is fun, even though it is an awful lot of work for something they'll wear only once.  But the pictures I get afterward are worth it!  I'm not sure which stage of a project is my favorite: picking out the patterns and material, cutting, piecing, sewing, or the final product.  It's all very relaxing and rewarding.  I think the rhythm of the sewing machine is very calming, and I love the patterns and textures of different materials.  I also love that my husbands and kids have no interest in this hobby, which makes it all mine.  My biggest issue at this moment is that I've lost my sewing room to another long-term house guest - my brother.  Don't get me wrong I love having him here, but I was very bummed to lose my craft room.  I refinished an old sewing table I got from a thrift store, but I need a way to keep everything looking neat and tidy in my big family room.  I came across a furniture piece that I'm currently lusting over - and what do you know they are giving it away.  For those of you in the same position here's where you enter:
