But now that I do think of it, I'd have to say that I strive for a hip, specialty boutique look rather than a sew-at-home look. I tend to lean toward vintage or cutting-edge trendy patterns. Does that count as my trademark? It's more my trademark style overall, since I tend to buy clothes that fit into that, too.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475477442377719233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-64962467621979927522007-02-15T23:29:00.000-05:002007-02-15T23:29:00.000-05:00Cmarie; I'm just getting started with my sewing ag...Cmarie; I'm just getting started with my sewing again after almost 13 years. Guess I'll be able to identify my trademark soon (lol). Just want you to know that you have the greatest site! I think you should be the editor of some sewing magazine! <BR/>I read your post on Artisians Square on sergers. I am thinking about buying a Singer (4 spool) as my first serger, do you think this would be a good purchase as my first?<BR/>Faye LewisFaye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-9198355418869003972007-02-15T14:06:00.000-05:002007-02-15T14:06:00.000-05:00Yep - if you ever decide to do a tutorial on how t...Yep - if you ever decide to do a tutorial on how to deal with modifying sleeves for big upper arms, I am so there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-68730080229674884472007-02-14T15:33:00.000-05:002007-02-14T15:33:00.000-05:00I think my trademark would be almost never making ...I think my trademark would be almost never making up a pattern exactly the way it is shown on the pattern photo or sketch.

So my trademark there would have to be making the pockets match. <BR/><BR/>You <I>do</I> give one cause to think though, and it will probably be on my mind as I ramp up my sewing efforts.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129186522214945915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-31327922706502157942007-02-14T09:31:00.000-05:002007-02-14T09:31:00.000-05:00I tend to gravitate towards flounces.

But those are the types of patterns I gravitate towards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608592479497561349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-81438415320637442312007-02-14T08:57:00.000-05:002007-02-14T08:57:00.000-05:00I'm too new to sewing to have made my own "mark". ...I'm too new to sewing to have made my own "mark".
