I always have to make it 'better'.<br />Your hem looks good today. <br />(lol, hahahaha, snicker)kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468763091074811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-60886275962379075752011-10-12T16:09:49.805-04:002011-10-12T16:09:49.805-04:00The dress looks really good with the belt, and of ...The dress looks really good with the belt, and of course the new shoes.<br /><br />I saw Carolyn's post, too, and I'm a quickie sewist as well. I just don't need tailored garments, and won't take too much time for something, unless it's special occasion (which, by definition, can't occur too often). TNT patterns are great to have, and I know you'll get a whole new collection of TNTs soon!<br /><br />Great picture of Tyler.Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-70770074716157815982011-10-12T14:29:24.335-04:002011-10-12T14:29:24.335-04:00Hi Debbie,

Yours is actually the only sewing blog I read regularly, though I do often click through on some of the links on your page. You've been an inspiration sewing-wise for ages, and now with your weight loss and lifestyle changes as well. I found your originally on PR when I was looking for reviews from women more my size than most. I was always so impressed by your thorough reviews, so full of pertinent info, and your sheer determination! I have not sewed clothes for myself (or for anyone really) for years now, and hope to start again. Please send me some of that grit! I've also made big lifestyle changes, but not handled it as well as you, I think. Lost of fair amount of weight, but have been pretty stuck for months now. Sold my home in NY and moved far away, don't know anyone but my parents (and DH), my kids are far away... Of course yours is a sewing blog, so I am sure there are harder times for you that you don't feel inclined to share with the world. I'm not trying to put you on a pedestal. But you really are inspirational in many ways. I'll get off my soapbox now, just wanted to let you know. And btw, never mind what I or anyone else thinks - you wear your hems exactly where you are most comfortable!

In fact mostly out of knit fabrics and sewn on my serger seems to suit me best right now. I have great plans to do more complex/complicated sewing but by the time I get home or find some spare time on a weekend, I want a TNT knit top pattern. Although I did use one to make myself a rocking dress...<br /><br />But you know, if it works, it works.
