Myk, So excited to see you back here again. Reversible jacket looks great. I’m sure you’ll be a hit at Etsy.

OMG!!! I couldn’t believe what I saw among your creations! Girl, you are so talented! And, if I may add – very beautiful :). I wanted to add a comment to every single piece you made, but couldn’t find proper words. I think I’ll steal some of your ideas, you know :).

Hi Myk,
I have not checked in on you in a long while, how are you? I absolutely adore your white dress with yellow flowers! BEAUTIFUL!
Lately, I have been inspired and motivated by my creations in the design course I have been taking. Sadly, I have updated the creations on my page though. Stay tuned as I will post quite a few soon.
Hope all is well with you, keep me updated on your progress!

Hello Myk, It’s Nehmah. I miss your postings, but expect you are very busy with classes, and family. Have a Good Holiday season. May 2008 be a peaceful, prosperous year for you and yours. I won’t be posting too much (for me); my fingers are “touchy” just now. It goes away but, am I crabby when they flare up! Nehmah.

Thanks for the information and history of Cari’s dresses. I really hope that you have some photos of you finals project. That should open a “few” eyes on the site. This is the kind of sewing I enjoyed (and tore out chunks of hair while making) the most. Have an enjoyable weekend. Nehmah PS The message-to message site is still down; we do have this way to communicate. N

Just a quick note to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I’m not certain if this is a holiday there, so I hope you will pass over any blunders of mine. You have such talent. My best to you and yours. Nehmah

Hi, Myk, It’s Nehmah again. This seems to be the only way we can make contact. Since I am not much of a photographer, I have to corral my son & have him take pictures for me. Most of my best work is in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. We have moved a lot over 42 years. But, I should have something by Dec. I’m busy making a child of Mongolia doll for my granddaughter, Andrea. The Christmas clothing is waiting for measurements to start. Years ago, when I lived in Chicago, I had a very special friend from Manilla (have I spelled it correctly?). Caridad was in the States with a cultural tour group. One day she brought two over of her formal dresses, with the pineapple fiber sleeves. She explained how carefully these were made. I could well believe that the cost was worth every penny. They were so lovely. The seamstress had fitted them to her perfectly. She went home about the time life went very strange in that area of the world. I have not heard from her in more than 35 years. At any rate, I hope to see more of your work. Nehmah

hi again, myk! thanks for stopping by and saying hello- that is indeed a cat that i’m with, but unfortunately it’s not my cat. just one that lives in the neighborhood. my own lovely cats are back home in the US, and i miss them so much. i hope your fashion design courses are going well, and look forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Hi Myk. Just wanted to say you do good work here. Keep it up! Also I’m going home to the Philippines in December. If there are patterns/books/stuff you are dying to get but are not available there, am happy to hand-carry. I want to meet you and give you my Built By Wendy Patterns. They will find a good home in you.

Hi Myk!
I wish I had a picture or creation of mine to show you..but I just joined tonight and am in love with this site. I know you are from the Philipians, but my sister and brother-in-law lived in Singapore for 3 years and loved that area! Anyway I hope to start showing my stuff soon so that I can get comments also!
Love D

Hello Myk!
I am happy to see you as a Featured Member, Congrats! I love your creations.
Like Elainemay, I wish you much success with your career change! Please keep us posted on your future endeavors.
I too have considered pursuing my passion. As I am sure you know, considering such a change can be a daunting undertaking so any advice you can pass on would be greatly appreciated. I enrolled in an intensive 18 week sewing/patternmaking course to start…
Perhaps as you posed, 28 is my new 20!
