Sarai is super-smart to come up with this business, and with handsome guys like that pattern model around to wear the clothes, the patterns should sell well.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-81640447345305787602013-11-22T01:41:31.960-05:002013-11-22T01:41:31.960-05:00I love sewing but don't think I have what it t...I love sewing but don't think I have what it takes to create a pattern from scratch. I love combining patterns to create a new look but that's as far as I go. Interesting article and I was a huge Myrna Loy fan as a kid (I watched a lot of old movies with my grandma growing up).

That her greatest satisfaction comes from the response of her customers is something I truly understand. It's exhilarating to be at an event and see people reacting positively to your creations, just as it's so deflating when they don't. You have to work very hard at keeping it all in perspective.<br /><br />Thank you for this Peter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-49774281297859045122013-11-21T21:24:31.961-05:002013-11-21T21:24:31.961-05:00Interesting.

I create mainly patterns for home crafts, they are easy and I just get the ideas from originals so I am not creative at all. I can't even imagine trying to create clothing patters.Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470039217443534947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-32357231241278810552013-11-21T17:42:38.001-05:002013-11-21T17:42:38.001-05:00Yay, first!

Anyway, to answer your question, I don't think about making my own pattern line but I would like to have a small clothing line for men and women. I can imagine having a company is a lot of work but hopefully it grows.Sergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423854116494784014noreply@blogger.com
