It has the weirdest consistency, but it does resemble that of dental floss, except thicker and more brittle.

I've learned a tremendous amount by taking a few classes at FIT and through wide reading and exploration of the Garment District over the past couple of years. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I don't have a decent workspace so I don't sew as much as I should. I'm still working on that, as well as getting a dressform. Yesterday, I read another article in which a home sewer made a duct tape dressform. It's a waste of time.<br /><br />So many times during my on-and-off again attempts to learn to sew I was told that things were "easy" when they weren't, or people acted as if they were self-evident. (I've also had some excellent, incredibly encouraging teachers and tutors.)<br /><br />I think all disciplines should be taught intelligently and well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-47129539456133752132010-08-18T10:53:54.405-04:002010-08-18T10:53:54.405-04:00Haven't commented for ages but love your posts...Haven't commented for ages but love your posts and am definitely a fan!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068859188360245469noreply@blogger.com
