They fit your personality and beauty so well. I know what it's like to have to say goodbye to clothes; I've lost 50 pounds and like you, after awhile, you can't take in clothes anymore and make them look good. And with your new job, new bod double whammy, it must get really frustrating! Still slowly losing weight, but sewing up a storm and I always look to you for inspiration. If I see a picture in Style, I think "what would Carolyn do with that?". Thanks for fueling our passion!Beckyihearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305146833916998442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-26731105343395041582015-07-15T02:16:43.066-04:002015-07-15T02:16:43.066-04:00Your patterns for sewing are so great!

I was a bit addicted to some of the nicer Joan rivers jewelry pieces and always watched those and have lots of her things.
