I have recently started sewing and I made a pair of curtains in a beautiful fabric and it really inspired me. I grew up in a house where my grandfather was a tailor and my grandmother a seamstress and I would not pay attention as a little girl. But... the sewing blood is definately and I am trying to get to grips with it now a little later than I perhaps could have. They have both past away now so are not there to ask, but there appears to be a lot of talent on here so i am looking forward to learning from you all!

PINKSUNFLOWER's WALL (10)
Hello Pinksunflower! lol I do do a lot of sewing!!. After work I get back ( make dinner) and sew! I don't have a TV at home just the internet so there's not a temptation to sit for too long watching stuff (which I would do). And I usually work on prjoect simultaneously, I always get ideas from the burda site and other sites and I just have to write them down, cos I want to try them all!!. I find it a really great release to sew after a day at work on the computer !! What skirt are you making how is the button hunt?!! bx
Hey pinksunflower! thanks for your comment on the Kasia skirt. Yes I had the same problem when makin up the waist band - there were just tooooo many pieces!!! and to make it worse the fabric I had was really difficult to tell frontside to backside so I just sewed it up and it looked okay. It was a hard skirt for me as I had never done pockets but it's a great pattern and I've made a few variations from it since (to post soon) Looking forward to seeing yours - Kasia always comes out great, don't worry!! bx
Thanx for commenting on my vest! I actually didn't use any interfacing for my Franzi vest, and I can't remember if the pattern calls for it or not...
Hi Pink sunflower,
Thanks for commenting my blouse. The thing is that the blouse was made two years ago. I do sew a lot, but most of the stuff I posted here was made during the past few years. So, I'm not THAT prolific :)
Keep well. Ana
Thanks for your nice comment! I had a lot of fun taking those pics hehe. Happy sewing :)
Hi pinksunflower! Thanks for your nice comment! I considered making a How-To on my Lydia variation, but I guess it'll take some time. The ruffling at the neck is just an elastic band which I sewed in. Hope you're doing well :)
Thank you on compliments!!! Love your curtain nad like part for band of pearls!!
Hi pinksunflower! thanks for your nice comment on my jeans creation. I really encourage you to give it a try yourself!! I haven't made them myself yet, but people on the site have had great success with the Anita jeans. Anyway, can't wait to see more of your creations! :o)
Hello thanks for the comment! I have been sewing on and off for years but only made a couple of successful items (the rest weren't good enough to be worn!). It's only in the last few weeks because of finding this website and being inspired by what others have made, that i've started up again and it's great! I made 3 items this week! I will post them hopefully tomorrow- would be great to see what u have made too!
Hi pinksunflower! Thanks for the comment. I didn't have much trouble lining things up. I just tried to cut out my squares as straight as I could and sew the seams as consistently as possible. The outer edges were not initially even, some pieces where longer than others. I just trimmed everything up and it worked out great, I think I may have gotten lucky :). This was the biggest project I've ever tackled and am thrilled that the cover fit so nicely on our feather insert. Thanks again for stopping by. Looking forward to seeing what you make next!
