The Truth about Sizing in the Garment Industry

So your man asks, "What size do you wear"?, you respond, "Well, honey..it depends....sometimes it's a 12 sometimes it's a 3, sometimes it's an 8".  He then looks at you like you have 3 heads.  Click on the title above, or the "links to this post" link. This article tells all.


All the more reason for you to learn to sew so that you have your own unique wardrobe that only fits you!!!  And, yes it is less expensive to sew your own clothes. 

Fabric Bowls

I saw fabric bowls for the first time on a quilting TV show and loved them.
The artist had made vases, too. That were fabulous. So, I finally decided
to try it after seeing them about 4 years ago. I got nice fabric for a very
good price at Joann's, as well as the stiff interfacing. They turned out
excellent from the beginning. That satin stitch sure uses a lot of thread,
so if you're so inclined to make these - make sure you have 3 or 4 spools
of the color(s) of your choice. Variegated thread would look good, too.

This is one of my first fabric bowls. I've seen many that are absolutely beautiful.
I used this retro print with very vivid colors...notice the orange!!!

I've made couple others, but have given them away as gifts long
before I received my digital camera from my son for Mothers' Day.
