I can make changes to the styling, fabric, seams, whatever, and not worry about whether it will be wearable fit-wise or not. It seems like once you have a few, as well, you can use them to gauge the alter-ability of new patterns that you want to try.<BR/><BR/>Also, I note that on the hangers, your dresses look rather ordinary, no insult intended. But the pictures on you look great - just proof that fitting the person is so much more important than fitting the hanger!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-82256264430684708242007-06-05T23:11:00.000-04:002007-06-05T23:11:00.000-04:00Your's is the first REAL sewing blog that I found ...Your's is the first REAL sewing blog that I found when I got re-interestd in the craft again. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU! As a matter of fact, the first post I read was on using TNT patterns and I didn't know what TNT meant. And now the subject has come up again - and it's a good reminder for me. Since I hadn't sewn in about 13 years I don't have any TNT patterns. I must remember that just because it wasn't quite right the first time, to work on the pattern until I do get the fit right and them it will become a TNT. Thanks for this learning session!Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-83069346581288417092007-06-05T22:41:00.000-04:002007-06-05T22:41:00.000-04:00Always a good reminder!

And especially true for me this past weekend as I reworked a TNT tee into a style instead of working a style into a TNT. ;-) So, inquiring minds want to know - what did you wear back to your "first" day of work?Debbie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601675304884019607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-49578309140511453692007-06-05T22:01:00.000-04:002007-06-05T22:01:00.000-04:00Hey Lady Jane what a great concept TNT!

After seeing your pictures on your dress alone I am even more motivated. How many times have you made the SW Tank? I think that's one of your favorites if I remember correctly. Thanks for the inspiration. Many hugs to you!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765300557243178408noreply@blogger.com
