I met some fellow Pattern Review members, Neefer and Jennifer in SF, at a Sandra Betzina event at Stone Mountain Daughter fabric store in Berkeley. I'm all fired up to sew now. She uses such lucious fabrics and has a designer's eye. I like that she designs patterns for up to and even bigger than my size. Neefer (aka Jennifer & SF Jennifer were so nice, too. Like meeting old friends.
I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
