So many people all around us suffering with cancer. I noticed my Mother-in-Law's next-door-neighbor, Cheryl, this week was outside getting her mail. At first, I didn't think it was her because she was nearly bald. The last time I saw her, she had a really nice hairdo. I hollered, "Cheryl, is that you?" She walked over to me. I knew she had already had both breasts removed -- the cancer returned -- she went through all the chemo and radiation again -- and NOW, more cancer on her sternum and MORE chemo and radiation. And I'm upset over a dress form. Shame on me!
I cut out a new pattern today. It is my second Silhouette pattern. It is #575, Sonja's Blouse. I actually used Lucy for the first time, and it was amazing how close she resembles my shape. I fit the paper to her body first, and then to mine. I'll have Phylly check it in the morning, and then I'll cut it out. Oh, I took some pictures ------------ hold on while I download them ------------------.
Okay, since that last sentence and this one, Mr. Fix-It came in and cleaned up my computer because he heard me say it was being slow. You really have to watch what you say around Mr. Fix-It!
So here are the very first pictures of the very first fitting on Lucy. Didn't she do a great job? I really do like her. When I'm not using her, I keep my clothes on her because I don't want her to get her one and only outfit dirty.
Notice I have put in the
ROUND BACK correction up near her neck
and the
SWAY BACK correction at her waist.
I didn't make any changes at all to the front of this pattern because it fits so well already. Remember, these are Peggy Sager's Silhouette Patterns, and you have the choice of a B, C or D cup in the bust. VERY nice.
Jerry has a movie ready to watch. I better go join him.
Wishing you ALL a glorious Resurrection Day weekend.
Hugs, Joy
Blessed, peaceful Easter wishes to you and

Sure don't want to get you even angrier, but I
was reading something over at Stitchers Guild and saw the link. I can't get over how much this looks like the FF dressform .. and way less.

Am I wrong? I just can't see what's different, but then I don't know if that's just their basic opening price structure, excluding many necessary add-ons.
I'm still appalled at how they've (MIS)treated
you.
I know you'll get it all straightened out and
make the absolute best of it all, whatever the
end result.
God bless,
Joy
I wonder if that dress form includes the base. It doesn't have arms, but they are just in the way anyhow. Sure does look good enough. Oh, well. Live and learn.
