The hunt is ever on! And don’t forget the
cheap goods at the thrift stores, flea
markets that can be washed and cut up for
tops, skirts, etc.
I’ve cut up a blouse or skirt, etc. from my
closet for a project several times because
it added just the right touch. After all ..
... it’s FABRIC ... LOL.
There aren’t many opportunies for Freeper women to get together and chat about the things that interest us. Glad to see this thread going! Back in the day, I found a Betsey Johnson silk dress at a thrift shop for $4.00. It was transformed into a beautiful doll dress!
This is a fantastic sewing resource site.

The independent designers and their patterns
are really well thought out and are extremely
popular, many times with great personal updates
from the designers themselves.
Louise Cutting of Cutting Line Designs is
especially popular and responsive on the board.
Her One Seam Pants have been a huge hit for years,
and she chimes in regularly to answer fitting,
technique questions, etc.

~~~~PINGAROONI!
No thanks I know those people and have my own group who also came from where they started out at. :)
http://www.fabric.com/ I’m mostly a quilter but do watch the sales here for apparel fabric and sometimes they have wonderful deals. Sign -up for their newsletters they offer coupons, etc and advance sale notices. :)
Meaning that is the liberal group, us conservatives went somewhere else. :)
I don’t know what you mean by that ... what other group .. is there some conflict? I used to go to Sewing World, but them it was no more.
I have never seen ONE political comment .. and I’ve been going there for at least 2 yrs. What’s the other group ?
I was from sewingworld joined there in 1998. They must’ve stopped it then because when it first started there were many anti conservative messages and some telling others, like me that they weren’t welcome there. I have maintained a yahoo group since 2000 that used to be where we all went when sewignworld went down but was told after they started their group that somehow I was trying to steal their members when I had already been around many years before they ever began. Needless to say I don’t go there because I know who started it and what they did.
What’s your group ?
Thanks for the recommendation! I’d seen the site but wasn’t sure if it was good stuff.
Thanks for the link!
Another Drama Queen.
