I've been reading your blog for a year, and you've made many, many beautiful garments during that time. I know some of your children are grown, but how extensive are your closets? I'll add closet envy to my sewing envy concerning you. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy the Nov. sewing time.<BR/><BR/>KarendeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-4587038491653419752008-10-22T18:17:00.000-04:002008-10-22T18:17:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.NurseByrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467832005172686422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-36458789765070045592008-10-22T17:39:00.000-04:002008-10-22T17:39:00.000-04:00Hello, I am a beginner sewer and I took your advic...Hello, I am a beginner sewer and I took your advice and got a copy of talbot's Guide to Sewing. I have not put it down, I am reading it like it is a novel. I am always reading about sewing because I do not have anyone to help me.I also purchased a book by Vougue, but I wish I had saved my money. Thanks for inspiring the next generation of sewists.NurseByrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467832005172686422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-26097070817142023482008-10-22T01:33:00.000-04:002008-10-22T01:33:00.000-04:00I love your blog!

I just visited a great store in Ottawa this weekend called C&M Textiles . They specialize in natural fiber fabrics.I had intended to get some 4 ply silk and some silk jersey but I chickened out and only bought two meters of two different sweater knits, one in wool, the other in a rayon poly mix. Do you find that silk jersey is thin and clingy or is it OK? I'm a little chesty and very self-conscious so I guess that's why I didn't buy the jersey.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500041147303339117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-7044906075153159562008-10-19T20:28:00.000-04:002008-10-19T20:28:00.000-04:00This sounds great, I can't wait to see your collec...This sounds great, I can't wait to see your collection.
