Lessons learned from years of working in factories that are not air conditioned...much as I love cotton I really dislike the ironing and all the wrinkles from wearing, sitting etc..have you found a way around that? the other Joy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290267670853809795.post-32071114275234783952015-04-28T13:00:22.495-07:002015-04-28T13:00:22.495-07:00I've been in bed sick for two weeks but I'...I've been in bed sick for two weeks but I'm up and running now. I lost 5 lbs and now will have to alter some pants. I love the tops you make. I'm going to break down and order the sure fit designs pattern so I will know what you are talking about. Love the ring and don't worry about hair on the finger. People will be busy looking at the ring and not the finger hair. haha You are a super great talented lady. Hope you never get tired of doing this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159580223758689602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290267670853809795.post-83500740265853206802015-04-28T12:36:09.012-07:002015-04-28T12:36:09.012-07:00My you have been busy.

I love rings (always have) and I think of the late Jackie Kennedy's take on rings. It is said that she wore rings because she never thought she had pretty hands, so wore rings so the eye was drawn to the ring rather than her hand. I've adopted that philosophy and continue to enjoy my rings!Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345674465845908156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290267670853809795.post-59905407328959515432015-04-28T01:42:54.113-07:002015-04-28T01:42:54.113-07:00How did you guess?

She is a sweetheart and has great patience with all of our many questions. I am going to try this. My problem is that I have rather heavy upper arms. So I drew my sleeves from the width required at the bottom, upwards. But the cap is not great. I think the height might be fine but the width not as it seems to fold back on itself at the back. It also seems to bubble. not sure how to explain. But I will remeasure the sleeve pattern as you have demonstrated. I will let you know. Thank you for all your help and inspiration.Lynda Schuchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277498279657796207noreply@blogger.com
