Having a seamstress handy is always awesome. My mom has been sewing since long before I was born, and has made me all sorts of awesome stuff. The last thing she made me was a cycling cap out of some linen/cotton I had sitting around from cutting some pants into shorts. And she did mention once that she could make me a wind vest if I could find the right material for her.
