Their darts do not head to where they should (too high up) and clothing shopping is just SO frustrating! Adjusting patterns isn't easy either.

It shouldn't be that surprising, though, since both are sewing.

I used to sew clothing, but never enjoyed it. I'm tempted now and again to give it another go, but not fully persuaded yet. I do enjoy seeing what others are making, and your tops are no exception! They look perfect for our hot summer days! piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327645006454111334.post-5026717921209500072019-07-12T08:13:22.587-05:002019-07-12T08:13:22.587-05:00Your new tops are adorbs, Laura!!!

(This was years ago....) Now my heart lies in quilting and I hate to carve out time for any other sewing!

When I was in school, 7th-12th grades, I made most of my own clothes. 7th-9th grades, my dad went to law school in a neighboring state (driving home every weekend) and we were supporting two households on a school teacher's salary!! Money was tight and it was much less expensive for me to make my own clothes. I also made lots of dresses for my daughters when they were young. Now, I pretty much stick with quilts!! I may have to consider making clothes again.Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327645006454111334.post-43143932692050686552019-07-11T14:27:59.857-05:002019-07-11T14:27:59.857-05:00wonderful job..be so proud!!wonderful job..be so proud!!O'Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350950712546652314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327645006454111334.post-84204288369811288842019-07-11T12:50:19.399-05:002019-07-11T12:50:19.399-05:00Nice.

I've never sewn my own cloths just coats. To be honest, I rarely mend cloths, lol.

Alas, I haven't sewn clothing for me in ages, and not for my girls since they were little. chrisknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927945292086841275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327645006454111334.post-47761990693588144572019-07-11T08:40:09.340-05:002019-07-11T08:40:09.340-05:00Both of these tops look great!
