I have a 20yr DS who from 4yrs on was extremely fussy about the style , fit and colour of his clothes(this kids undies colour had to match his socks. He would draw me coloured pictures and say this is what I want - makes it easy in some regards but difficult to get the exact colour match sometimes and compromise was a dirty word for him back then. Then we entered the age of only labelled clothing was good enough and after my wallet took a few hits and then he didn't wear these 'have to have clothes" we put him on a clothing allowance boy did that ever pull his spending horns in. He is now a University and he came home on wednesday with some sweat shirting with a picture of what he wanted done with it a grey sweat shirt with white inserts down sleeve seam and body side seams and a hood lined with the white. He hovered while I sewed it up last night. It was like when he was 4yr again waiting for his creation to turn out  Skye |

I hope he liked it. my 22 year old is like that, except the only thing she likes that i make her is flannel pj pants my 8 year old likes just about anything, she likes seeing how things go together, but when it comes to fittings she absolutly hates it but suffers thru it especially if she thinks she'll like it let us know how he liked it Marge

I hope my oldest gets to be like that. right now if he is to be sean by friends it has to be dockers and a button down. no more of mom's creations or his own. I am soooo happy that he loves your wears.... The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!
