I made a Mardi Gras dress with a center front seam one time, and I see no redeeming factor in it at all - makes me look huge.Dr. Fun (AKA Sister)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332652703590699186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-10395426975125901642013-09-10T22:22:26.208-05:002013-09-10T22:22:26.208-05:00Too funny!

I hate that I blew the fabric on a top that does not work. I finally finished posting the review that I started Sunday. I toy with the idea of writing a sewing blog every time that I make something new. I am just to slow about making photos and posting. I would be terrible.<br /><br />Here it is:<br /><a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/review/pattern/90843" rel="nofollow">wadder</a><br />BeckyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978486228919306813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-81877143468567786322013-09-09T21:36:52.491-05:002013-09-09T21:36:52.491-05:00Oh now, you could've shown us a picture of the...Oh now, you could've shown us a picture of the shirt! So are you making somebody at Goodwill wear a wonky shirt, or was it just the wrong size?! I meant to get the Burda out tonight and compare it, but my time got away too - hopefully tomorrow. And the RTW thing is a great idea too - thanks!Dr. Fun (AKA Sister)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332652703590699186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-63491756288716157302013-09-09T20:55:44.084-05:002013-09-09T20:55:44.084-05:00I meant to email you back this weekend, but someho...I meant to email you back this weekend, but somehow let time get away from me. I actually sewed a shirt for myself - too bad it is marked for the Goodwill bin. <br /><br />You mentioned that one of the t-shirt patterns that you have made for yourself fit in the arms/shoulders. How does that pattern compare to the others? Maybe that would give you a clue. Do you have an old ratty RTW similar shirt that fits that you could cut up to compare to the pattern?BeckyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978486228919306813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-77991445513734171642013-09-09T14:52:28.908-05:002013-09-09T14:52:28.908-05:00Pam, amen on the Craftsy classes!

I have 3 I bought because they were on sale, but I haven't even looked at them yet, and I still haven't finished the knit class I started....or the draping one. <br /><br />Robbie, good idea - I'll bring the shirt with me. I debated ripping the seams out and trying to enlarge the armholes, but I'll just wait....and try to think up a funny name for my paper double.Dr. Fun (AKA Sister)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332652703590699186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-21923070264453723342013-09-09T07:19:40.028-05:002013-09-09T07:19:40.028-05:00Isn't it amazing to "see" yourself! ...Isn't it amazing to "see" yourself! I did a paper tape double of myself (in a class with lots of help) at Expo one year. When I brought it in, Vic said, "I didn't think you were that big." I had exactly the same thought when I saw it. Alas, "Frances" is now a coat rack because I outgrew her.<br /><br />I'd wait for the Expo class, then you can wear your shirt and ask questions. <br /><br />RobbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-29234242343921834722013-09-08T22:53:18.117-05:002013-09-08T22:53:18.117-05:00I do see you asymmetrical hips -- therefore, I wou...I do see you asymmetrical hips -- therefore, I would vote for the Expo classes -- I had a difficult time being fit by online training -- for me. Plus, I tend to stall on craftsy. It was in a class I learned I had asymmetrical shoulders as well. <br /><br />Just my two cents -- you can always take the Craftsy class -- and they have significant discounts around New Years or Christmas. That is , if you can wait:) Sometimes I'm not too good at that. Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197442485237029218noreply@blogger.com
