I really loved how you have created your site, it’s simple, neat, simple to get around and very easy on the eyes. Can you let me know which theme or designer did you use.removing skin tags

a comedy i guess

If I were to write a sewing novel, I would like it to be a classic romance, just like Pride and Prejudice. I love the fashion in those era, especially it was the same time when women gained rights in the society. :)

A suspense thriller … will she throw the machine out the window? Will she hurl the seam ripper at the next person who walks through the door? lol!!

A mystery! I’ve been reading some quilting mystery books lately, and there’s nothing that quite piques a sewer’s interest like someone being murdered in a fabric store by being stabbed with quilting scissors. :)

Comedy :D

I would write a mystery, I’m not good for romance!
May 6, 2011, 09.44 AMby loyl8
I would probably have it be a romantic comedy mystery but its one of those turn to this page kind of books

It would have to be a romance, filled with frills and lace!

If I were writing a sewing story, it would be a historical novel – based on a particular place and time (e.g New York 1920s), with patterns included!
May 6, 2011, 02.16 AMby nyphertiti
My story would be set in ancient egypt or England’s 1600’s. Something around the secret lives of the wardrober or sewers to the royal family. With lots of excitement, drama, mystery, and of course…romance!

Mine would be an adventure story. I have so many different types of projects that I like trying and, honestly, my approach to sewing is to just run at a project and go for it!
May 5, 2011, 03.13 PMby maribug
it would have to be action :D about superheroes ….tonnes of AMAZING costumes would be sewn :D
May 5, 2011, 08.07 AMby kaitui-kiwi
I think my story would be comedy-horror, all the things that can and do go wrong when sewing something you think will be simple :)

I would have to write a romance. I am definitely a hopeless romantic!
May 5, 2011, 06.28 AMby moonsilkcookiesface
It would be a mystery suspense/ thriller with a strong build up to a climax, lots of witty foreshadowing, a plot twist, suggestive imagery and a ending that leaves you hungry for a second volume. The bells the whistles and all the fixins ;)

Thriller, it’s the only genre worth reading!
