Through these courses, I have learned that my biggest problem in sewing is in fitting a pattern to my body, so that it not only fits, but the alterations I make will be recordable on the paper pattern so that I can remake the pattern in a variety of fabric.
Well, lo and behold, just talking about this with a person who does not sew, but who knows lots of people, I have been able to make a connection!
Thank you to Mary, who is a good listener, and who is one of those people who makes connections. She let me know about Diana.
Diana lives fairly close by, is passionate about sewing, and has the fitting, tailoring, and fabric knowledge that I covet! She writes two blogs, and contributes to pattern reviews as well.
Diana has graciously offered to meet with me, and from there I am hoping that we can build a group of sewists who are looking to work on some projects, and learn better fitting and sewing techniques from Diana. Check out her blogs if you need some sewing tutorials. I have spent a number of hours looking at her work and sewing projects and I am truly inspired!
So, perhaps I can get those Sandra Betzina pant muslin properly fitted, and then use it to make a variety of comfortable pants with the fabric I bought on sale!
As you can see, I am very happy to have been given this connection. That is what I wanted when I came here. I wanted to leave myself open to meeting new people and getting to know the strengths and interests of others. Keep your old friends, but open yourself to new people!
