I’m so glad you were able to go and meet so many other people who love sewing. I love your dress; that color looks so nice on you. I’m looking forward to hearing all the details. Your Donny shirt is lovely as well. I just love wearing viscose/rayon, and I’m assuming the Atelier Jupe fabric must feel like you’re wearing silk. I am so happy you felt like sewing, and that Donny shirt is such a success! I never got back about donating, but my husband had already given to Samaritan’s Purse. We’ll still do something in Avery but at the moment we are dealing with issues. We finally finished the treadle (!!!) and moved my Grandmother’s chiffonier to another room to make room for the treadle. The chiffonier has been there over 8 years and we were shocked to find some mold on the baseboard and the wood flooring under the baseboard is compromised. That wall backs up to both bathrooms so we probably have a leak in the wall. Beside the chiffonier was a shelving unit filled with sewing notions, patterns, threads, etc. All that has had to be relocated so the wall can be removed to fix it. The plumber comes tomorrow so we’ll know more then. The great news is that I can actually treadle and love, love, love sewing on it. It is a bit of a learning curve but so much fun. My tie front shirt is almost complete. Hopefully, the treadle will be moved to the living room and l can just sew in there until repairs are completed. It’s pretty quiet unless I treadle really fast. I’ve been praying for every one of you who’ve been affected. I’ve seen enough to know that building back is going to take a long, long time and prayers and resources will be needed. I just feel so grateful that everyone I know is safe. One of our friends was without power for 13 days, but she was able to stay with a relative. I know many people weren’t so blessed, so I will keep praying. I suspect going to Frocktails was such a good idea for you because when you are keeping yourself centered and upbeat, you will be a blessing to those around you. Please take care of yourself Cynthia and know that others are keeping you in our prayers.
Cynthia it was so nice to be able to share time with you at Frocktails. I have ordered the Blaire top pattern from Style Arc. I never would have picked up on how that is made if you hadn’t worn it to brunch. You sew beautifully!!!
Thank you, Kim. It’s a pretty easy sew. Since you have been sewing for a long time, you should have no problem sewing a Style Arc pattern. I enjoyed spending time with you at Frocktails and at brunch. 😊
Sounds like a marvellous time was had by all. You looked so pretty in your dress (and I love your new Donny too!). Thanks so much for sharing your experience ❤x
Loved hearing about the event. Looks like a lot of fun. Can’t wait to hear all about your dress.
Hopefully, I will find the time to film the review this weekend. 🤞I had so much fun! 😊❤️
So happy you got to go! Good times…your dress and wristlet are beautiful and you looked so beautiful in the pictures! Happy Sewing!
Thank you, Kathleen. I appreciate it. It was fun posing for the pictures. 😀
