Now, I'm impatient for tomorrow to come. I agree that it is an ordinary looking pattern at first glance.<BR/><BR/>Funny to read about your "experiment". I think I am also a "block" sewer. It's terribly frustrating for me to only have 20-30 minutes in my sewing room. Plus, I get so dang tired in the evenings during the work-week.<BR/><BR/>I think my minimal "free" time during the week will likely be spent reading or knitting for brief periods of time.Bonnie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10337963671634796459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-5279981697957994962007-08-19T17:37:00.000-04:002007-08-19T17:37:00.000-04:00Hi Carolyn, you got me thinking about my own "ever...Hi Carolyn, you got me thinking about my own "every day" sewing habit--like why do I do this to myself, LOL. I blogged about it. <BR/><BR/>I totally understand your decision not to do the everyday thing. After all, your approach works really well for you.

I couldn't believe it because I seriously haven't been that excited by a sewing magazine since...ever! I am so incredibly impressed, it's what I've always wanted, fashion and sewing mixed together, it's like when Vogue Magazine used to have fashion editorials with Vogue patterns, oh those were the days.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504855018934043734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-85804028207052168102007-08-18T17:31:00.000-04:002007-08-18T17:31:00.000-04:00I wonder if I can get it in Australia?

As it happens, I have my copy but I'm going to look it over carefully now since I just breezed thru it when I bought it. By the way, I looked at your friend Marj's blog. Just great!

I'm sooo glad I did!! Even though I've read all the reprints in Threads, it was nice to have them all in one place for to go with this pattern (which I plan to use a lot this fall/winter). <BR/><BR/>Great concept to show how to change up a pattern--I hope Threads will adopt this concept for a future issue.NancyDaQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609215745927535353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1758704372526252842007-08-18T11:42:00.000-04:002007-08-18T11:42:00.000-04:00Hey, I have a subscription and haven't even receiv...Hey, I have a subscription and haven't even received this issue yet !
