That clarity will help you select sewing projects that give you true joy, both in the creating and the wearing of them. Often sewing is to create garments to "fit in" -- be it "work appropriate," to reflect trends others are picking up on, or to get on board with whatever styles the Big Four are pushing each season. "Me" sewing is pure fun because you're accounting to nobody but yourself. The sky's the limit on how conservative or outrageous you want to be in each garment, and the only thing that matters is whether it gives YOU joy. Looking forward to seeing your brilliant smiles as you model future creations!

My son just gets taller, not wider. Costumes for the theater are more collages than practical dressmaking. <br />I think I always enjoy alterations because they make sad things happy again. People seem to think sewing is a miracle, and who are you and I to make them think otherwise?<br /><br />I do look forward to your posts, even if you didn't sew a thing. You're the positive voice in the week; bless you.

Plus these sewn garments last much longer. You know this, of course, and it's a good reminder for those of us with a sizeable fabric stash and we get the satisfaction of making the garment. Thanks for your ramped up postings, Carolyn!

I wanted you to know that you have inspired to review, "What type of sewing do I enjoy at this stage in my life?" I have found that fashion sewing although I do enjoy it is not my top priority. I now really enjoy crafty DIY projects especially sewing & designing aprons!

I loved the blue floral dress and was sort of sad to see it become a top. I did not think it looked matronly at all. Still, it made a beautiful top. You do not have to blog more, just keep blogging. Don't stop.

I really like the floral top (formerly dress), and there is a lesson here for us all. I am often tempted by a big colourful floral, make a shift dress of whatever pattern is current, and then feel rather matronly wearing it. Next time that happens, I know what to do.....Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-6250042463996705142016-11-02T01:19:38.577-04:002016-11-02T01:19:38.577-04:00I love that you are blogging more !!!
