"I like the Overmost by Whipstitch: http://whipstitchfabrics.com/blog/patterns/the-overmost/ Good luck!"

"I love this!"

"Once I make my adjustments to my muslin I use it as the pattern for future projects. Then again, I don't often make the same pattern twice, so sometimes I just reuse whatever I can of the muslin fabric for another project."

"Productive. I have a tendency to dream about projects and never find the time to do them... but I'm determined to find time this year."

"I'm actually not a big shortcut taker, but sometimes I wish I were! I do skip pinning sometimes on things I'm not too worried about."

"I try to take my time to get it right, and then try to let go of the imperfections."

"Never say never! But I probably will never sew myself a swimsuit. My son, maybe..."

"I have general ideas of yardage for different types of garments, and also keep a little note with yardages for specific patterns I want to make. Usually when I see a fabric I have an idea of whether I would make it into a skirt, blouse, dress, etc…"

"Having to set up and put away my sewing machine and tools each time I want to sew. I can't wait to have dedicated sewing space someday!"
