If you want to be creative with minimal exertion, applique or embroidery is a great way to start!Shelleyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223944949880318245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-2558976876174533442011-08-25T22:24:18.600-07:002011-08-25T22:24:18.600-07:00By the way I am an adult now and in my 40's an...By the way I am an adult now and in my 40's and I did sew for years but not to the degree I would have liked.Dawn Riffellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731467064841289636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-26577357915613701262011-08-25T22:22:33.645-07:002011-08-25T22:22:33.645-07:00Can I just tell you how much I enjoy reading your ...Can I just tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog? I am not able to sew right now because of health problems but you are really making me want to get back to work. I am not the greatest seamstress, but I have always loved sewing. For my very first project, I made my own skirt, and the pattern (because my mom would not buy me one)at the age of 9 years. I was determined to sew! It was not great but I did wear it to school that week.<br />Thanks for awakening the artist in me again! I have so many designs in my head for clothing for heavy women (I am one) but my skill level does not equal my designs so I just need more practice. <br />You often make me laugh. I had to shake my head and laugh when you sewed the straps on the bra wrong more than once! It made me see that my idol IS in fact human. haha! Anyway, just wanted you to know how much you have taught me.

My least favourite thing is doing something right that I think it wrong, undoing it then realising it was right all along!<br />Still- the bra looks great :)Spinnerettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335780710513434157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-36595958258111843982011-08-25T18:40:33.268-07:002011-08-25T18:40:33.268-07:00Thanks Jan! :DThanks Jan! :DShelleyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223944949880318245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-88344642621324303232011-08-25T18:39:32.624-07:002011-08-25T18:39:32.624-07:00But Regena, how would you handle corners on a reve...But Regena, how would you handle corners on a reverse applique?

Its a tough, unforgiving fabric for an invisible mend, but in the right light its not that noticeable. <br /><br />Of course, it being in the upper back does not help much either. I just hope she does not think this is worse than how it was. There was really no other choice, especially after discovering that adhesive damage.Shelleyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223944949880318245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-57557129518830913852011-08-25T17:52:48.908-07:002011-08-25T17:52:48.908-07:00really good repair job.
