!Please! DON'T hide!
I've just been doing it a while, is all! (Plus some real-world experience in making my own patterns for sewing certainly helped!)
I've been looking over your MD freebies here, and am quite jealous myself! I've pretty much stuck to doing simple, untextured accessories for my MD free stuff, up to now, and yours are much better overall. I will get them packaged up and upload them here fairly soon. (I should have some vacation time this month...[fingers crossed!])
