Re: Which holiday do you like to sew for and why?

I'm not sure that I have a favorite holiday to sew for. I do know that I do not like sewing for Halloween....I'm not sure if it's knowing that the costume will not be used much (although when my kids were little the costumes went right into their dress up boxes) or if it was having a deadline. As soon as I have a deadline, sewing becomes work and not as much fun!
