I started sewing when I was about 10 years old on my mothers treadle Singer sewing machine. Mom taught me all she knew and it wasnt long before I started making my own clothes.
When I look back I cringe to think that I wore them to school.
I would love to learn some couture techniques

Re: Patterns: Wide Leg Pants
The pants are beautiful and stylish. I am 5'3" so I don't feel they are for me...but on someone tall they would be fantastic!

I want to thank you so much for this article. I too have been sewing for years and have used this technique, but there are many who don't know about it or need to be reminded of it.
posted: 5:09 pm on July 11thMy mother used to say "you can't please all of the people all of the time but you can please some of the people some of the time", and those "some of the people" are very grateful for these tips!
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Red/Black Linen Sheath Dress
What a superb job you have done! Your fabric would be a very difficult one to work with due to all the lines that have to match up perfectly........which you have done.
