But I really think there are a lot of sewists out in blogland that don't really know any better or feel under-experienced or something like that and so are hesitant to speak up. Me, I have the opposite problem. About speaking up, that is. :-)Debbie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601675304884019607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-43056412782577227302018-06-11T09:15:48.250-04:002018-06-11T09:15:48.250-04:00Thank you Rebecca!Thank you Rebecca!Debbie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601675304884019607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-35306530644563646812018-06-11T09:15:22.478-04:002018-06-11T09:15:22.478-04:00Thank you Sue!Thank you Sue!Debbie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601675304884019607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-92094204921735823982018-06-11T09:15:07.555-04:002018-06-11T09:15:07.555-04:00Kimberly, I'm sorry but I don't really hav...Kimberly, I'm sorry but I don't really have any answers for you.

And I love the tie you added to the front of your top.

Question for you: Do you know anyone who has had a double mastectomy, without reconstruction and sews there own clothes? I am so frustrated sewing for myself right now. I’m not sure anything looks good on me anymore. I need some style and fitting help I think. None of my old patterns work anymore! There has got to be a blogger/sewer out there somewhere that has the same fitting problems I’m dealing with.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353124619684425496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-81843906620203124352018-06-01T14:33:17.495-04:002018-06-01T14:33:17.495-04:00Thank you so much!
