<p>Hi Judy!</p>

<p>I was hunting for sites that specialized in using old patterns and making clothes also re-purposing old clothes and linens. I stumbled upon this site about a week ago and yep I am hooked. My newest goal making new dresses and tops for my vacation in June. I happened upon Joann's sale on McCalls and Butterick patterns for $1.99 this week and bought the love of my life the dress I have wanted to make since I was 15 B4790 The infamous walk away dress. I have my fabric and pattern cut and I hope to have this accomplished in the next day or so. I also wanted the challenge of making new outfits. I love the talent and friendly atmosphere here too!</p>

This is so sweet, and I agree whole heartedly! It's so nice to be able to share and discuss with such a kind and thoughtful group! And yes, I'm happy to, externally and internally!

I feel the same way, as if I have something "just for me"..even my husband [who notices nothing,ha] told me the other day,"Judy , you really like that "stuff" [talking about sew weekly], dont you? I can tell you are having fun..I havent seen you this happy in a long time"</p>
<p> I too say thankyou .</p>

Hi Judy,<br />
<br />
Much like you I visited Mena's site last year and watched as she made the most amazing dresses. I was in my own renaissance sewing when I could find the time. What I love is seeing what everyone has made and their honest assessment. we share all the emotions we feel when looking at new fabric and patterns, dreaming about what we would make, getting underway, the frustrations and joy and sharing it all. It's a wonderful community full of lovely people.<br />

Yes I am very hooked, it gives my a break from my daily grind, let's me dream and play with like minded individuals.<br />

Great post Judy!<br />

I've taken ages to respond to this one.. because I'm not quite sure how to describe my sew weekly addiction!..or the effect it's had on me. I feel like a new woman! I'm enjoying being a part of this so much, and for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm doing something that is just for me. To be honest I've felt a bit lost lately.. and didn't really know what to do with myself! Not because I've got alot of time on my hands. lol.. but because I'd forgotten all the things that used to…

I'm enjoying being a part of this so much, and for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm doing something that is just for me. To be honest I've felt a bit lost lately.. and didn't really know what to do with myself! Not because I've got alot of time on my hands. lol.. but because I'd forgotten all the things that used to bring me joy! (welling up a bit now.. I'm such a wus!) I've surprised myself with my 'skills recall' (It's been so long! ) and amazed that I've actually been able to offer useful advice to others, not to mention reach out and connect with people all over the world. It's given me a total confidence boost like I never thought possible. Thank you Mena and all you lovely ladies of the Sew Weekly! Yea,yea,yea Jen...
