My shape has been on an interesting journey for the last year (moreso recently) and I'm not really sure what to make of it. Of course, I'm aiming to address it with the naturopathic remedies and I've cut back on crap food. Thing is, it's about tone more than anything. Which is to say an utter lack of it abdominally. I wish you lots of lean muscles.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-54908355858332173472013-08-23T14:14:08.592-04:002013-08-23T14:14:08.592-04:00It's true.

I can wear them in zillions of scenarios (many of them work). I'm sure the new yoga pants - made with the help of a cover stitch - will be extra exciting.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-91930789716258959442013-08-23T14:13:07.928-04:002013-08-23T14:13:07.928-04:00I did hear about those people!

Oh sure, I might wear a dress once in a while, but if I live in yoga pants, that's what is going to be what I feel the most gratified in making.<br /><br />Anyway, will be looking forward to seeing your new creations.

I had been focused on getting the scoop-necked version just right (I've now got 2 versions of the pattern for the 2 main types of knit fabric I have access to). Now that I've got it the way I like it I'm going to do up one or two of the green version (with sleeves).<br /><br />And in an unrelated note, you heard about the 34 people who got food poisioning at the CNE?

YUCK...just YUCK! <br />I have a question for you re head health - will send it to your e-mail.<br />As I'm in "back to school" and "new school" and "kid in high school for the first time" stress, I'm all about sewing things I know fit. I have limited time/energy and I don't want to put the time into something that won't work. Not the space I'm at right now. So it's work pants (which I need and have sewn before) and some fun knit tops, which I love and have several patterns that I've used often. Make what works in fabric you love. I'm there too!Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586195054279699870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-49083688323906126322013-08-21T20:23:57.900-04:002013-08-21T20:23:57.900-04:00What wonderful Fall sewing plans.

I had it for summer,but all I ended up doing was 2 muslins for a dress and a real dress. Then a muslin for a top. So my plan to make work clothes has been pushed to fall. Which means all of the tops and dresses will now have sleeves either 3/4 or full. This time around, I'm planning to do it 20 mins a day. Maybe that will work.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990191457997877760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-61204567627426017292013-08-21T17:37:17.431-04:002013-08-21T17:37:17.431-04:00I like your plan, especially the part about fun an...I like your plan, especially the part about fun and not complicated.
