A Stitch in Time Tag Art Swap

Red Lead has a new art swap - A Stitch in Time - using their beautiful new "sew cute" art stamps and alterations tags.  Check it out on their Yahoo Group!  Here's my entry:

 

When I was a kid my mom made all our clothes - including coats!  My sewing skills were and still are, negligible.  At the time I really didn't appreciate all that hard work, all I knew that by the time I was a teenager I really wanted store-bought clothes like all of my friends had.  For the rest of my life, when my mom and I were shopping together and  I saw a piece of clothing I wanted to buy, she would say, "Oh Robyn, you could make that for so much less!"  No Mom, you could!
