In either event, sorry if I appeared to be tooting my own horn too much. :)JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-1168190871304840102007-01-07T12:27:00.000-05:002007-01-07T12:27:00.000-05:00Born to teach and write.

My husband said, ...Wow look at all these comments! My husband said, "you're going to get a swelled head with all those compliments".<BR/>I would also like to wish you-all a happy new year sewing. I do seem to have started 2007 off with a bang, now that my machine is humming again.<BR/><BR/>Heather, you'll have to put your link up again because I have too many bookmarks and I seem to have lost how to find you.<BR/><BR/>Thanks ML. I happened to be at the fabric store yesterday (someone else was driving!) and they DO have dark brown zippers but I am not concerned about the black one I used.<BR/><BR/>Erica B welcome to my blog! I AM off to a good start, as I hope all of you are too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Sandy. Sometimes I get impatient and screw up and sometimes I do the wrong thing like with the lining on the purple skirt. But most of the time, I can make even "mistakes" work in the end. :)<BR/><BR/>Zoom you are too kind. But I did wear the purple skirt to school on Thursday and it looked very cute. I think I will wear the orange one on Tuesday. But as you know, I can be somewhat challenged sometimes, when it comes to pairing the fabric with the pattern. :)<BR/><BR/>Tany, welcome to my blog! It's always nice to get new readers (or at least, new commenters). I do like the way that stretch lace works to cover the raw edge of a hem, if I'm sewing it up by hand.<BR/><BR/>Susan, wow, what an offer! I have been to your site and love the shawl jacket pattern but I want to look at them ALL before I make my choice. You are also too kind!<BR/><BR/>And finally, welcome also to my blog Christina. I like to think that teaching is one of the things I can do really well. I think what I do is explain something the way I'd like it to be explained to me and then it is clear. Feel free to ask questions if you have a particular concern.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-1168140934294528352007-01-06T22:35:00.000-05:002007-01-06T22:35:00.000-05:00Beautiful skirts!

As someone who is just getting started sewing clothes, your step by step description diffused a lot of fear (I think some patterns are designed to scare off novices!) The contrasting yoke on the orange skirt is lovely. <BR/>Christina<BR/>http://craftyourclothes.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-1168045774364085602007-01-05T20:09:00.000-05:002007-01-05T20:09:00.000-05:00Hi Julie - I just discovered your blog and I wante...Hi Julie - I just discovered your blog and I wanted to comment on how I enjoyed your detailed and clear description of how you put your skirts together! The photographs are very easy to follow.<BR/><BR/> I also took some time to read your opinion blog on various other subjects and found that even when I had a somewhat different viewpoint - you expressed your opinion in such a convincing and well written way that I was very impressed! Its a pleasure to read a well-written blog!<BR/><BR/>I would like to send you a free pattern from my pattern store,<BR/> www.sewinggarden.com.
