She has a tank dress she loves, for example, and we will be using it as a basis for a new tank dress. Of course she makes me do all the sewing, because she insists she will <b>never</b> like to sew, but that'sMeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245730088359572839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-9857858819654700022009-06-23T13:58:34.881+02:002009-06-23T13:58:34.881+02:00I'm follwing your blog since few days and I fi...I'm follwing your blog since few days and I find it very useful n creative too because you give lots of tips on the projects you r doing.

Especially the ones that appeal to younger sewers. <br />Taking and posting photos really makes blogging a bigger effort. Especially writing tutorials and construction photos. I'd rather have a post without photos than none at all.
