My half hour a day is regrettably not purely sewing - but I'll get there. It's not a race against time. I thought your goals were fairly comprehensive too and I look forward to seeing you achieve them.<br />I discussed the skirt for my daughter today and had a look at how soft inverted pleats would look with the tartan. I think our tartan is too heavy to work properly. For my daughter, the tartan is more important than the skirt so she'll modify the style if we don't succeed in finding a source in the next few months. I started the repair of the green dress and was almost pulling my hair out!<br />I am having a struggle with all the different sites even though I was always considered pretty computer literate, bit that wasn't for social media which is something else again! As long as I get to a point where I can use, even if not expertly, that will do me fine, as my main goal is still to improve my sewing.<br />I've still to look at how work clothes can be used differently, apart from trousers which I was able to use more casually immediately, though the problem with them is fit, which comes back to sewing ...<br />Thanks.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932830885813917282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-64486350251955365962015-01-06T22:15:44.292+00:002015-01-06T22:15:44.292+00:00I sew 30 minutes a day as well - sometimes first t...I sew 30 minutes a day as well - sometimes first thing in the morning.<br /><br />A very comprehensive outline of all your goals - you've got to know what you want to achieve, although I have to admit I take a more intuitive approach. <br /><br />With old work clothes, can they be upcycled in some way to go with more casual clothes? <br /><br />And regarding the Facebook MAGAM - I don't think you can link directly to the group page. And with your own page, you can still keep that private - change the settings so that other people cannot see it unless they are friends. You are in the group, so you just have to click on the icon - left hand side of the page when you are on your home page. The only way to work out how any of these sites work is to play with them, I think. But that is the method that works for me - everyone has their own way of working.<br /><br />The blue skirt - pin it and see if it looks okay taken in.

I've looked at some tartan and plaid skirts of the type I think my daughter wants and see that many have very wonky matching and lines that are neither parallel to ground nor bias. I'm not sure if the basis is a straight skirt block or circular. I'm anxious about making it, even though the skirt looks simple. The fabric was extremely expensive - on the other hand, better to use it then have it in long term storage. There isn't enough left to get another kilt made for my husband.

Now I've no idea what to do, but hey ho, what's new. We are fellow fasters. Good luck.
