I would have thought you bought it at some high-end boutique if I hadn't known you made it. <br /><br />Which reminds me, there are a lot of un-hemmed knits running around high-end boutiques, so your top is in very good company.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-12020039364027300062009-11-28T14:44:43.212-05:002009-11-28T14:44:43.212-05:00I cannot tell you how impressed I am.

Just found an amazing new book called The Dressmaker's Bible by Lorna Knight (I think that's her name). It's so useful - for beginners or intermediates. Very clear. Unfortunately, I didn't have it on the weekend :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-25006006027390746682009-11-25T11:35:46.563-05:002009-11-25T11:35:46.563-05:00I think you did an AMAZING job!!

And I appreciate your feedback about the karate. Even though you are professionally fit, it still takes work for you to learn a new skill. It's important to remember that new things take time.<br /><br />Sal: Thank you! I'll keep on. Just for the praise :-)<br /><br />Jennine: I've been joking about that. And I have M to put to work too :-)<br /><br />Dr. M: Thank you!<br /><br />Janet: Hilarious. The day's going to come - if I have anything to say about it.<br /><br />Miss C: I actually look horrible in a traditional boat neck. There's something about a cowl that works for me. And thank you!<br /><br />Raven: Thank you. I think you know a bit about what I'm up against, though you are more advanced in knitting than I am in sewing...<br /><br />RML: Thank you! It is really wearable. It's incredible that way. And I do love it.<br /><br />Genevieve: You are so sweet. Thank you for that advice. I do really like the garment, as I mentioned to RML. It suits me and I made it and I get a total high from that. Which will hopefully tide me through the dark moments. :-)<br /><br />Bel: Thank you! I really did make it. And you are being so nice to say it looks like a real designer garment. But I can deal with nice!

It looks well-made from here, and most of all it is REALLY flattering on you. No way are you going to give up. Learning to sew things you actually want to wear takes time, and learning to sew well enough to enjoy the process takes time too. You will get there!

You are doing so well! I hope you will keep moving forward. Remember, new skills take time to learn. <br /><br />(I started training in Goju Ryu karate in February, and I'm only just now starting to do a good job at basics. Nine months, and finally Sensei said "your basics are beginning to look smooth and focused." "Beginning!" I relate this story to commiserate. As much as I love it, Goju Ryu tries my hurryup approach, and I've had to re-learn patience and detachment. I hope you will give yourself time. Sewing sounds like karate in the sense that it's a lifetime journey, not necessarily a game with a goalpost.)<br /><br />I'll be quiet now.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406942482508439839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-18072898766518543662009-11-24T09:42:23.827-05:002009-11-24T09:42:23.827-05:00Jeebus, don't give up!
