Me, too.

I also sew.  As a matter of fact, I saw a silk dress that sold for $600 and figure I can make it for less than $150, in less than 3 hours, and maybe sell it for $500 (?).  Unfortunately, I cannot be sure that the silk fabric is made in the USA!!

At any rate, while I've been spending all this time working for pennies in the medical transcription industry, my sewing machine and serger are sitting in the corner and collecting dust.  SAD, huh?..
