I'm definitely one of those people who don't change a pattern. but with reading how you are so free in using a pattern as a jumping off point is just amazing, also how you replicate designer fashion is just awesome. Keep it up and I'll try to loosen up (LOL)<br />Jocelyn in NCJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640305970422370674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-31838735611587637872013-10-17T15:33:23.166-04:002013-10-17T15:33:23.166-04:00I am a little late to the party on this one, and v...I am a little late to the party on this one, and very rarely comment on blogs, but I just had to say how much I always enjoy reading your blog and how inspired I am by your flawless finishing. I was really sad saddened by your recent post featuring comments about your blog from someone who obviously wasn't a fan. I used to not want to write a sewing blog because I was embarrassed to post pictures of myself in the things I had made .... Let's say that I've got over it now! I believe very strongly that men and women of any size and shape and age should be able to wear whatever they feel like. I am aiming to be the crazy old lady in the purple novelty print dress when I am older! ;-)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574615152979605653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-74798535122640779912013-10-16T21:57:47.800-04:002013-10-16T21:57:47.800-04:00From the first picture I thought "oh Carolyn ...From the first picture I thought "oh Carolyn has made a suit.
