One thing that strikes me is that we are so careful with accuracy when it comes to pattern making, but with re-fashioning clothing there is a much greater relaxed approach. Which maybe what puts some people off. I guess in the big picture a happy medium is just that - happy. Not getting too hung up with the very small details, but being happy that we can continue to get wear from our clothes, and respect their place/value.<br /><br />(As an aside, I have just picked up from the library 'The Wardrobe Mistress' as reviewed by you - I am intrigued. Another book I would not have chosen but looks very promising. Nothing to do with re-fashioning but could be fun.)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-25772478083625225842019-06-03T14:15:56.808-04:002019-06-03T14:15:56.808-04:00It's a great idea to get these books from the ...It's a great idea to get these books from the library!
