I know that Carolyn at Diary of a Sewing Fanatic loves to make dresses. For me it's twinsets and jackets. I love them because working in the male dominated automotive business, a jacket is the most powerful garment a woman can wear and I was, and still am, all about being taken seriously. In my opinion a twinset offers a more casual option while still being a jacket. What is it that you love to sew and why? For the fourth day in a row, I'm in a twinset--McCall's 5671!

I like to make jackets also. There is where I can do a lot of creative type sewing. I also like makign bags. Stay well.
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever read my blog you know I'm a jacket freak. I just love them, short, long, simple, complicated, I just freaking love jackets. I think next on the list would be pants, skirts and dresses just aren't my favorites, don't like showing off my cankles.
ReplyDeleteTanya it's hard for me to believe you have cankles and if you do rock them anyway.
ReplyDeleteRight now I love making dresses....jackets are a little tricky for me...but if I could I would make a whole section of my closet just for jackets.
ReplyDeleteMy first love is knit tops. They add so much variety to existing wardrobe pieces. Second would be jackets.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite are tops and agree with Faye that they add variety to an existing wardrobe. Since its warmer I will focus on skirts.
ReplyDeleteI use to sew many years ago, the other day i bought a very simple pattern to make my gchild a simple top and pair of shorts.....it's still laying there. i think i love the idea of sewing more than the actual doing. when i was growing up, my mama made all my clothes. i sooo enjoy your blog and seeing what you are making. hope you are continuing to do well. i had double mastectomy with reconstruction 5 years ago because of high risk factors, i know a little of what you are going through, with the exception of chemo/radiation. i did not have to take that. i send up little prayers for you when i read your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome in your twin sets. Ye, they do look very professional.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I love to make? Special little dresses for special little girls.
I love jackets and belts. Last year was a bad one for me with jackets. I feel your "pain".
ReplyDeleteI've been catching up on reading your blog. You go ahead with your sexy bad self. I love it all. I agree, twinsets are great. They are comfortable and can be dressed up or down. Very stylish.
ReplyDeleteJust barely started sewing and didn't even realize that I could see twinsets- I love twinsets! And am enjoying reading about your processes on the blog. Thank you for sharing your sewing stories!
