Gwen Stefani may be hard at work on No Doubt's comeback album, but her love for fashion runs deep and is something that she inherited from her mother and grandmother. 

Speaking about her abilities as a designer and dressmaker, the platinum-haired frontwoman explained that sewing is simply in her genes:

"I can sew - it runs in the family. My grandma made my mom's prom dress - mom didn't have a choice! And mom would take us to the fabric store and we'd pick out Vogue and McCall's patterns. When I got older, I was very anti-fashion. I was into thrift stores and making my own stuff. I had my own sewing machine, glue guns and projects everywhere. My room was a danger zone."

Likening fashion to music, Stefani admitted that working on a record is more "draining" but she loves both creative outlets and has no intention of putting either one on the backburner: 

"Fashion's not as draining as music but it is much more greedy - there are endless ideas and dreams about what you want to wear. And then you've got to make that happen. But I enjoy all parts of the creative process - making the cookies and eating the dough."
