Glasses, people who don't wear glasses but wear them for style to convey something, should have their EGO checked. <br />3. Singer FeatherWeights, it's a free country, as many as you want, maybe someone could tell me what the "big draw is to FWs' and why they cost so much more. I don't get it. <br /><br />I have the same japanese coat book and should try making the same coat.

Duluth Trading's is very beefy and extra long, built like a tank and almost more like outerwear; drab colors tho, and no white.

My favourite dress when I was 11 was made of a similar dusky-pink with muted-soft green flower patterned woollen mousseline; it had a boat neck with loose scalloped collar and a circular skirt and made me feel like a princess! Alas, I grew and the dress shrank and that was the end of it. But the colour has always appealed to me.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407827983634620698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-22160934017170567472014-11-24T21:43:04.042-05:002014-11-24T21:43:04.042-05:00I'm so thrilled to hear that your mother is on...I'm so thrilled to hear that your mother is on the mend!

That's always good. Recently a friend tols me he had this black box in his garage for years and finally opened it and saw a sewing machine in there. I said I think you might have a real treasure there. When he brought it to me to look at, sure enough it was a FW. <br />It's in good condition.. He let me have it. I did show him on CL and Ebay what people were getting for them, because honesty is the best policy. I took it to my fixer upper and should have it back next week.
