I'm currently busy on yet more toiles for MOB outfit, which will be in dupion silk (I think - so far, at least; I have the silk I think I am going to use). I've heard Kai shears are great though I've never seen them. I also bought a new rotary cutter, in a bigger size, and that is very helpful too. I think my old cutter must need adjusting as it's just not working very well. Now so much easier. I do have new blades for my old one but tried to sharpen the old blade - I'm not sure how well that works and in the overall scheme of things, the 'saving' isn't worthwhile.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932830885813917282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-14615183800661397552015-12-30T19:43:58.909+00:002015-12-30T19:43:58.909+00:00I enjoyed reading your reflections and learning. ...I enjoyed reading your reflections and learning. I agree about moving toward natural fibres and considering fabric quality over bargains. I discovered that working in small classes gives me the boost of skills that I want. Tools resonated with me too. I purchased a pair of Kai dressmaker shears and it has honestly made things so much easier. I love the sweater and jeans that you made. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508759996980147353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-10635399220426497692015-12-26T20:52:08.439+00:002015-12-26T20:52:08.439+00:00Thank you.

Yes, wedding plans are becoming even more exciting - I was able to get Joanne and Alison to try on toiles in preparation for their bridesmaid dresses and make some further more specific decisions about style.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932830885813917282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-321660854487473492015-12-26T07:12:14.644+00:002015-12-26T07:12:14.644+00:00Phew.

I feel you need to be more certain about your style and colours and then your makes will be the sort of things you want to wear. I am getting very excited about the wedding!!Fabrickatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697025016425085142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-77371907355906106932015-12-22T16:00:03.135+00:002015-12-22T16:00:03.135+00:00Thank you, Joyce.

I love books and can enjoy videos but this... My attempts with some fabrics so far have been much less than successful!

If you are stuck sewing bridal fabrics I can heartily recommend the Susan Khalje Couture Sewing book.
