I, in the past have felt like I needed to learn new techniques as that was what I was reading about on other blogs and I was becoming overwhelmed..I feel far less intimidated after reading what you had to say as I have realised once again the joy in sewing for oneself. There is simplicity and peace in it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the simple but true message and now I am off to sew myself the skirt I have wanted to for some time. lizzie xo.Lizzie_wolffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801563355843305920.post-67329085702439581262011-08-16T18:59:50.041+09:002011-08-16T18:59:50.041+09:00Oh my goodness, how could someone be so rude!

It is not a look that often appeals to me, but you have done it exactly right here with just the small opening in just the right place in a color that is not shocking against your skin tone.

The person might have had the basic human rights to express <br />whatever she would like to say to the acquaintance, but I don't believe <br />that it's a nice attitude in whatever culture as far as I got to know. For me, it's surprising to do it to own friend.yoshimihttp://yoshimitheflyingsquirrel.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801563355843305920.post-1803487382069547422011-07-28T07:59:28.371+09:002011-07-28T07:59:28.371+09:00The most important reason to sew is the pleasure i...The most important reason to sew is the pleasure it gives us.Lisettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801563355843305920.post-86191033975413566342011-07-28T01:48:28.507+09:002011-07-28T01:48:28.507+09:00To return to Carolyn's blog post for a minute:...To return to Carolyn's blog post for a minute: Life is full of criticism and disapproval. The sensible approach if you don't like it is not to put yourself out there in the first place.<br /><br />I see this attitude all the time in posts by women bloggers and it's troubling. It's extremely naive. If you want to be out there, you have to expect some rough-and-tumble. Someone saying your clothing is "boring" is negative, but it's hardly abusive.<br /><br />Again, I almost never post negative personal comments, and I wouldn't subscribe to Carolyn's feed if I didn't find many of her choices interesting, but it's silly to be surprised that you get some negative feedback.Sewernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801563355843305920.post-14920695800107730142011-07-28T01:32:58.011+09:002011-07-28T01:32:58.011+09:00I reached your blog through Carolyn's blog. I...I reached your blog through Carolyn's blog. I would have had to register to post a comment there. Too much work.<br /><br />First of all, from this photo, I don't think your style is boring. I myself like simple, well made basics that fit well and feature nice fabric.<br /><br />When I do come across boring, or badly made or tasteless garments on sewing blogs I generally just move on. Sometimes the arrogance of certain blog authors is pretty amazing.<br /><br />But it's really important to remember that when you post, you are posting to an audience that is all of the Internet. People have opinions, some are rude. If you're asking people to read your blog, I think you have to have a certain amount of give and take. I'm not saying you shouldn't ban people who lack civility.<br /><br />Full Disclosure: I don't have a blog, but if I did, I'm not sure I'd enable the comment function. :-)Sewernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801563355843305920.post-19898809760852449212011-07-28T00:44:11.244+09:002011-07-28T00:44:11.244+09:00I wouldn't call your style boring or tedious -...I wouldn't call your style boring or tedious - I'd call it understated and elegant!birdmommynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801563355843305920.post-31157464389479999692011-07-28T00:23:28.425+09:002011-07-28T00:23:28.425+09:00I just found your blog and the outfit you are wear...I just found your blog and the outfit you are wearing is absolutely gorgeous in its simplicity.
