sewing
I'm really tired of trying to find clothes that fit and that I like and that aren't dowdy. I'm not a size two (lol) nor twenty-something or even thirty-something (heh) but lots of clothes I see would be fine except they're only made for young and small people. How about sewing? Years ago, I sewed a lot and made a few outfits. Being short-waisted, though, dress tops bloused too much and waistbands fell at my hips. Plus it was when a-line types of neat and prim clothes were all the rage. Styles too unforgiving for a neophyte seamstress. These days there's more of a sense of playfulness and less structure in designs. Maybe Project Runway is having an impact. Anyway, I'm going to look into this. Sewing machines are versatile and capable, I hear, without being as cumbersome as the old full-table Singers. Recommendations or advice, anyone?
