Two Thoughts

1. I think we have better fabric choices than what's available in mid-priced RTW, judging by my shopping trip yesterday. The only thing I can't make is knitted sweaters and that's only because I can't knit.

2. Every day is a good day when you see the weinermobile driving next to you.


I'll be back later with pics. I've completed one top and am now deciding what's next.

    I often get unsolicitations on clothing I made and I don't think it's me as a seamstress. I don't often make things that are wild styles because I don't want it to age quickly (I'm not the most prolific sewer). It's also not always fit, I'm getting better, but it's still not always perfect. I think it is the fabric. I wear colours and patterns that are maybe a little harder to find in stores so it stands out as being distinct and comment worthy.

    I can't say I've ever had a weiner mobile drive beside me. That would make me giggle and brighten my day.

    I think EVERYONE goes through the 'Why can't I find xxxx in the stores or online?" This happens to me all the time - not only for myself but also for my grandson. I see business opportunities all over the place because basic useful stuff (like, long warm socks for little kids -- there are tights for little girls but no one in the US is going to put tights on a little boy - but for infants up to toddler age, all there are for socks are those booties that end at the ankle)just is not out there. This is the major reason I sew - retail is boring; the fabrics and linings are crappy; I hate paying good money for things that are done in a year. I've literally stopped going to malls.

    Well then, learn to knit! Haha. I often find myself in the same position as Toby Wollin especially when it comes to kid-clothes! Why aren't there navy cardigan sweaters without hoods that don't look like my grandma wore them in the '80's? Why do LITTLE GIRLS need hip-huggers? Why is everything tissue paper quality? It boggles the mind.

    Also, Weiner Mobile? How awesome is that! I'm so jealous.

Thank you for each and every comment. I appreciate them all, but I have to be honest and let you know that I'm usually bad about answering questions. I hope you understand that there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I want to do.
