Have you used cotton fabric with patterns that don't suggest cotton? How can you determine if a garment will work up fine with cotton? I thought you or some other sewers who read your blog might have some thoughts on this. Or is it best to just buy patterns that list cotton?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868612635336893727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-49066393260669799662014-10-13T18:55:45.051-07:002014-10-13T18:55:45.051-07:00Janet, that's a hard thing to do if you are u...Janet, that's a hard thing to do if you are used to doing things yourself, but it has better consequences.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-56130389946909524732014-10-13T13:52:45.568-07:002014-10-13T13:52:45.568-07:00I used to get very worked up and emotional about f...I used to get very worked up and emotional about family discord, epidemics, news of wars and crime when I was younger.

Love the skirt and top and you did a great job on them as well.<br /><br />I so enjoy a quiet peaceful home and time to myself too. However it can be quite lively around here when the grand children come to visit. They keep me young with their activities, interests and wonders. I probably wouldn't appreciate the peaceful times if I had them all the time anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214621646003640118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-51353518348632769942014-10-13T13:25:12.330-07:002014-10-13T13:25:12.330-07:00Debbie, you said it perfectly.

I use them for ideas and then go to thrift stores and second hand shops to shop for similar items or head to the craft and dollar stores to make pretty things to decorate my home. <br /><br />I love quiet days at home with beautiful music playing in the background as I go Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485255900269180528noreply@blogger.com
