Yeah, I'm easily amused. Anyhoo, head on over and check it out.

Congratulations on your interview, very interesting to read, keep on following your blog!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the interview!
ReplyDelete(Also, I'm an assistant at a literary agency, and you call for my boss all the time! Crazy!)
Such a nice interview! I think the questions summarized your blog content pretty good (except for the gender discussions, but that's a parallel yet important part of your blog, I guess). Congrats on you popularity! How nice it must feel to be such a huge inspiration for others, not to say a modern seamstress icon... I hope you're enjoying it as much as us readers!
ReplyDeleteAnna, small world! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support, ladies!
What a lovely interview. Congratulations. It's really nice to read a blog that not only shows what is being made, but the struggles that occur when garment sewing as well. And I love the body image posts. They're so important these days. :)
ReplyDeleteUgh I love that coral silk shirt... every time i see it i PINE for one of my own! I think I am going to cut out one today.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the interview!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those tips for beginning sewers. I've been trying to start sewing for years, ever since I was given a sewing machine as a gift! Pretty much all I've ended up with is a pile of WIPs that I got all mixed up with and gave up on. I think I'll check out the books you mentioned... or make some curtains! :)
How exciting!!! :D Congrats on the interview... off to read it now! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely interview :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked the interview but was surprised at your answer of curtains as a first project...in my head that answer is always drawstring pajama pants. But your answer is better. The difference is that curtains show and really, nobody needs to see your pajamas. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd really, Aprons fit somewhere in there too.

ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought *I* was your alter ego. A very interesting interview. I loved reading about your non-literary life.
ReplyDeleteBut no matter how enticing the blog or interview, and no matter how you try to say that it's a learnable skill, I can't sew. I've tried. Wish I could.
So congratulations to you and all the others who've mastered it. I'll look on with admiration.
Hi Gretchen: I loved your mom's interview - I hope I can meet her some day - I remember those days, except I learned on a paddle Singer sewing machine practicing on feed sacks that were washed - and yes, no pattern - just cut and sew!
