I'm always inspired by your creativity! Looking forward to seeing your in-progress projects! I ordered the stretch taffeta you used for your dotty vest and used it as an accent for a jacket -- very cool stuff -- thank you for the info on that.

I promised my niece I'd copy the Gone Girl black and white dress for her, so I'm hopeful that having someone waiting will incentivize me. Thanks for blogging, I learn a lot from you!

I have realized that while I am quite overweight, my shape is similar to yours. I have three attempts at making tops lately that were total fails because I just do not yet understand what looks good on me. I will be going through your blog to help me better understand what looks good. I want to express my heartfelt thanks for all you have done on your blog through the years. You not only teach, but you inspire.

It sounds like you've been gentle on yourself during this hiatus from blogging, and that's good. When you don't feel like blogging - or sewing - there's no way forcing it is going to do any good. <br />Thanks for participating in this thread of the blog hop. I'm a few participants earlier on the thread, and it's nice to have you at the end of it! Martha, Dixie, Louisa, Myrna, Wendy, Gayle, and Shams - wouldn't that be a fun gathering?! Anyway, it was fun to read more about your current projects and how you approach sewing. <br />Take it easy and come back to your blog when you feel like it. No pressure from my corner of the world! Happy New Year, and happy sewing!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-77756816397026357382015-01-04T18:56:47.062-08:002015-01-04T18:56:47.062-08:00Hey, Elle!
