I'm so excited!!! <br /><br />Yes, I am an avid knitter, but I recently invested in a new babylock machine, and retired my old, old, old kenmore and I've been sewing like a maniac ever since. Just finishing up the Coffee Date dress from Burdastyle tonight for my first trip to NYC on Wednesday.<br /><br />Thanks Gertie and Colette Patterns!Florence Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03976402859210919080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-37694022186176475222010-06-28T07:49:40.164-04:002010-06-28T07:49:40.164-04:00Me??

Thank you so much!<br /><br />I've actually been sewing (much) longer than I have been knitting - but I have a four year old and in the last little while having a project I can take to the playground is nice. <br /><br />Also, if I mess up my knitting I can just take it apart and start again but once you've cut fabric, you can't tape it back together, right?<br /><br />But like other commenters have said - you are certainly inspiring me to find some more sewing time, and to try my hand at some vintage stuff. (I have a 1952 mail order dress pattern that came from my birth grandmother that I really have to try). <br /><br />Thanks again!woolcathttp://www.ravelry.com/people/woolcatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-27896801546822512102010-06-27T20:53:11.652-04:002010-06-27T20:53:11.652-04:00congratulations to the winners!

I love reading about your projects, but have no idea where I would start myself if I wanted to begin sewing. Just choosing a good sewing machine seems to be a big enough hurdle that I sit here and lurk at your blog and take no steps to get started myself. A few words on fabric that is well-behaved for beginners, and some good first projects to try so we would learn some basic skills would also be welcome.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10590704549523365405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-73330635449623988802010-06-27T11:47:02.362-04:002010-06-27T11:47:02.362-04:00I'd be willing to sweat for $5, too.
