Date: 2/28/07 1:34 PM Oh my gosh - I'm flattered that there is a picture of my chunky body in there. I do really like the shirt and this has inspired me to go back and make another one.
Love the article - I keep checking on these favorite patterns - well written and shows many different body types. All of us at PR aren't the same little tiny body and this proves it. ------ What is Maxine saying??

Date: 2/28/07 1:57 PM Great job, Diane! Hm, I have 9 of those patterns; out of those 9 I've made 4....let's see, perhaps I'd better sign up for the Pattern Stash contest... :D
edited because I missed one of my 'have/have mades' amongst the three TNT's... which increases my 'have made' percentage very slightly... -- Edited on 3/1/07 9:23 AM -- ------ Lisa -- so much fabric, so little time!

Date: 2/28/07 1:58 PM Thanks for writing this, Diane. I really enjoyed it. Leslie, I'm a pattern-aholic. I own ten out of fourteen of those but I've only sewn up two of them so far. I'm working on a third, but I'd better get cracking!

Date: 2/28/07 2:49 PM I love these articles. You've really changed the way I sew.... These articles along with the extensive pattern reviews have helped me avoid disappointing mistakes. Which means I have more clothes in my closet and, yes, more space in my stash!!!! Time to go shopping!
Thanks.
