I am a rookie from Kenya in med school and love fashion. So many women here just wear boutique clothes made from material mined in mars…Star trek Acid Rain Venus collection. I love women in lovely clothes. I wish to bring that flare here. Xo

I’m looking to purchase a sewing form…the only fabric store near me is fabricville and they have only a couple of forms. Are you able to suggest a web site where I might purchase a form? Is there any particular brand of form that you prefer over another? So happy I found your site.:)

I, too, am looking to buy a dress form. Any suggestions as to where to purchase one? I live in Canada, so I would have to order via the Net (and think it’d be safe to be able to adjust the shape a bit in case my measurements are off). They are costly (even the inferior ones at Fabricville), I don’t want to waste $$$!

As a new sewer, I am so glad to have found this site. This is exactly what I have been looking for as I have tired of the boring patterns and ideas I have found so far. I knew there had to be a underground seeing world of unique and current patterns and designs. So excited foot the weekend so I can start experimenting. Never stop posting ideas!

Selfish, I see that you have not posted for a long time. I don’t know if you are selfishly living your life or something, but I wish you would stop it! And return to posting to this blog! I really enjoy reading you. And I’m selfish, myself, so I want to keep doing it!
