I usually purchase patterns on sale too but it is nerve wracking to cut into fabric not knowing if they will fit well. I usually have issues with Macalls patterns fitting very large on me with huge armholes when I buy them according to the size measurements on the envelope.

However, I think the dress looks very nice on you, and if you can wear it around the home, that is helpful.

I only know a bit of sewing, and so much want to learn so much more so that I can sew for myself and my children, and for things around the house. Can anyone recommend a sewing course, or books which cover all the bases? I'm not good at piecing bits of information together--I'd like an all-inclusive method of learning.Heavenly Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885287813627213613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-30630769412870590992017-10-09T00:17:15.253-07:002017-10-09T00:17:15.253-07:00Janet, my photographer was useless that day.
