The impeccable finish that each dress gets on the inside is a source of inspiration for me when I'm sewing . Thank you Carolyn for chosing me for the blog hop! I'll hop on over to my blog later today and write my response.

The ignorant (fools?) never know when to shut their mouths. A well-fitted sheath dress is one of the holy grails of sewing, and I have yet to perfect the fit of a sheath dress that I'm comfortable in and proud to wear. And I'm so glad you broke the rule of nominating only 2, because being Claudine is an awesome at her craft. I'd like to be her when I'm grown up, too.

I turn off when people are critical, whether it is a blog or a political ad so the real loser is the one who finds fault with others. As for you.... Carolyn, you have definitely inspired me to learn and grow as a sewer. I had given it up when I had to start adjusting all my patterns to fit my plus sized body. But you showed me it was "normal" and inspired me to start again. Thanks to you, I look at all clothing (plus size or not) with a closer eye to detail and how I can incorporate those details in my own sewing. And, yes, your blog is the first one I read every time I see it on my feed!!!Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899896728363922575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-3948690679692748032014-10-27T12:09:33.282-04:002014-10-27T12:09:33.282-04:00Thanks for sharing!

I would find it so difficult to have fun and stay inspired if I had a strict dress code to follow, but you always find creative ways to try different things while still looking work-appropriate.

I love that you explain the process of a creation, from inspiration and pattern tweaks. I especially like it when they grandkids are in the background of your photoshoots and tales of sewing projects you and your daughter create together. Those are awww moments that I also enjoy reading. I hope you keep blogging for many more years to come. Gracahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709238617916016462noreply@blogger.com
