Are you a whizz at finding fun fabrics?
Matching colours?
Drafting your own patterns?
Trying something new?
Lettuce edging?
Sewing knits?
Using up stash?
Encouraging others?
Hand sewing?

Let's make a list of what we are good at. That way we also have a list of who to ask questions of.

I'm good at drafting simple patterns and trying something new.

I'm pretty good at buying stuff! :lol:

Let's see, I'd say I'm good at sewing diapers. :D

i am pretty good at buying. :rolleyes: but i was surprised when i went fabric shopping with barb b/c she noticed fabrics i wouldn't have that turned out to be great for me.

i think i am pretty good at t-shirt necklines and knit binding. and i feel pretty comfortable working with knits in general.

i get very intimidated by new things, but once i get past that, i always have fun with them and so far haven't been stumped by one.

eta: i'm pretty good at diapers, too. i got my machine specifically to make diapers and really set my mind to it. and the payoff was nice. :) milo has four new diapers this week, in fact. it's been quite a while since i made any and he really needs new ones so they were a lot of fun to whip up.

Procrastinating. :lol:

Umm lets see, I can make a mean skirt in a jiffy, and I'm really good at putting a smile on my kids' faces when I make them something.

I'm good at finding a deal since I'm so thrifty.

I wouldn't by any means call myself an expert at any sewing things, but I try really hard!

I think I am good at encouraging people or at least try to be. I make an effort to answer as many posts as possible.

I am good at drafting boys and mama patterns.

I am pretty comfortable with knits in general, but don't ask me about lettuce edging, haven't tried it yet. lol

I have done lots of things with the embroidery machine and think I can answer questions there and I am getting good at applique.

Recycling! I make a lot of things out of other clothes, sheets, towels, etc. If it's fabric, I can make something out of it...
I make a lot of Powwow Regalia, and people seem to like it. I guess I am good at that, too.
I suck at knowing about fabrics - names and fiber contents and all of that. I buy most of mine at the thrift store. Maybe I am good at bargains? Which takes me back to recycling!

I'm pretty good at gathering and having it look good inside and out (only took me 2 years, LOL)

I'm REALLY good at talking about sewing, I do this a ton more than I sew:D

I've also gotten alot better at altering patterns for Emma, I'm still not so good at altering for me.

I *know* I answered this once, but I don't see it here. I'm good at making purses, that's what's been my play money (and sometimes necessary money) for a while.
