Come on, Gals. Sewing clothes is no harder than quilts. I have a hunch many of you are saying the same thing my guild ladies say. "I can't get anything to fit". Sandra Betzina has a terrific book on fitting EVERY figure. Like a new quilt pattern, you have to work at it in the beginning and start with something very simple. Went thru my Wally today and looked at the new clothes for spring and summer. The styles are very simple and the patterns usually only call for three or four pattern pieces. Those of you with a Featherweight. I started making my clothes on one as a teenager in the forties. Remember, a war was on then too. Oh, and practice, practice, practice.
