Sunday's Chat and Welcome to New Followers

Another week has passed by very quickly - and every week at this time, I welcome new followers to my blog. Most new followers have come via Bloglovin - so hello to Chris H , Thay Thay, Bluegingerdoll, Tracey Bell, EmilyC. I think two more people have also followed via Bloglovin - but I have no names for you - but welcome anyway. My blog is a fairly eclectic approach to my sewing problems as well as my sewing success stories. It also helps to quantify what I actually do make - and at the end of the month, although I feel like I have not achieved much except making trouser muslins, I have made a fleecy jacket, vest and a corduroy skirt. My learning this week has been about trousers - I have always found the Big 4's patterns to be a bit big for me - but I am learning how to alter vital areas of the pant - the crotch. What I don't like is the time and energy invested in making muslins and then altering the pattern again, then doing another muslin. This can take hours
