I think it is particularly kind of the expert sewists to keep blogging and inspiring those of us who aspire to be as good as you.

Good luck with the alterations and keeping my fingers crossed for you it will work out for your daughter's skirt.

A pattern that I didn't notice at the time, can look so good now.Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187364244385056641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-23437021314647533172020-01-15T09:15:58.519+01:002020-01-15T09:15:58.519+01:00The skirt would look terrific on you!

I've no advertisements on my blog and don't object to them, as long as there is no screaming pop up "subscribe to my mail list" every few seconds. I've unfollowed a few blogs because of that.Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187364244385056641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-91069426038972810422020-01-15T09:12:44.057+01:002020-01-15T09:12:44.057+01:00It's nice to know the blog posts are enjoyed. ...It's nice to know the blog posts are enjoyed.

Initially I thought that I would be taking it in quite a bit, but as it turned out, it "just" fits. She's a size 2 in rtw. I cut out the largest size that the remnant of fabric would allow, size 10, and thought it would need taking in. Fortunately, I didn't stitch the seam Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11437656183952670450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-11892602555653545532020-01-14T21:03:39.881+01:002020-01-14T21:03:39.881+01:00Really cute skirt.

The skirt looks terrific on you. I've also read Bunny's post and I also felt the urge to write about it, but like you I feel there's too much to be said and I postponed it. Mainly I feel that not much has changed for me. I still write the way I did back in the Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-1067058104556293542020-01-14T18:15:31.704+01:002020-01-14T18:15:31.704+01:00I always enjoy your posts on sewing although we ar...I always enjoy your posts on sewing although we are very different shapes.

Sorry you had to remove lots of stitching but as experienced sewists we realize that it's worth the effort to achieve a proper fit giving a garment that is actually worn. Thanks for your blog.
