4. Do you stash zippers?

6. Are you wearing anything today that you made?
- yes, a knit top and seersucker cardigan (but, the pants are RTW)

7. Does anyone else in your family currently sew?
- nope, not a soul

9. Cutting out, pressing, hemming. Which one do you like the LEAST?
- I hate hemming; every time my husband has pants to hem, I cringe. But, I still do it because I am wonderful :)

10. Do you have any non-chain garment fabric stores in your local area?
- there are two stores that carry just quilt fabric within 20 km; for apparel fabric, the drive increases to 60 km.
