After sewing for the local dance school for years, I don't miss it. I'm sure as DD1 is planning a professional contemporary dance career that I will get asked on occasion to costume a production - that's OK but I am absolutely over the crazy deadlines, 3 time a year, and year after year. I've offered my services to the 2 youth companies that she danced with but so far all has been quiet.
And I always felt the way that you do, Catllar. I never let other people cut out - it was just too stressful. With tight deadlines, if they messed up, I'd have been up the creek without a paddle.
