I love me some quality hand holding. <br /><br />That is why I love anything that has a full online tutorial sew-along.

And really, if the free advertising via blog-hopping means to defeat the purpose of blog reading by filling my reader full of junk I don't find interesting, I won't be participating any more. I mean, hell, even some of my very favourite blogs have features that I regularly skip, particularly if it's nail-art related. My job requires working with my hands, and I can't keep nailpolish unchipped for a solid 6 hours, so I am NOT spending nearly that long to get them looking spiffy just to wreck it, haha!Erin Gerofskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355517160851935785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807171073181446339.post-68874370342618709392013-04-23T10:14:09.872-04:002013-04-23T10:14:09.872-04:00Haha wouldn't you know it, I just sent Kaylah ...Haha wouldn't you know it, I just sent Kaylah an email the other day!

C'est la vie! Worse things have happened, and it's totally healthy to purge some blogs you don't absolutely love!

I find it hard to unfollow blogs because I want to have time and be interested in everyone who is taking the time to put themselves out there. But there does come a time when you realize that you just aren't that interested in a lot of the blogs you ended up following for a hop or whatnot. I guess it's time for spring cleaning all areas of our lives, right?Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889923584049681590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807171073181446339.post-21660534291892565822013-04-19T18:03:47.570-04:002013-04-19T18:03:47.570-04:00Stiff was a fantastic book!

But I have plans out of town. I am so psyched for fancy bowling though! I am going to have to bring my camera along, and get all up in everyone's business :P.<br />Man, I wish the wind was the worst of it! This morning when I got to work it was 68', and now it's 46' as I am about to head out the door. It's insane.

Alas, Toronto beckons. Looks like I know what I'll be doing on Monday night, though!<br />As for sewing patterns, I kind of learned to sew in an unconventional way using Japanese sewing magazines (written in Japanese. Fun!). From there I used my first (and come to think of it, perhaps only) commercial pattern to make my prom dress, and then just started experimenting from there. I got to learn pattern drafting in university, as well as expand on my sewing skills, and I promise, it's all just a matter of time before it all "clicks". One day I realized that basically everything in sewing is a straight line, if you turn it the right way. That concept has made me pretty well fearless when it comes to sewing and drafting.

Sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead of you! We went evening gown bowling for a bday last summer- so fun! I can't wait to see pics from yours. You seriously made me start craving a chai latte. Also, it's been windy here lately too, which is pretty annoying. At least it's still warm but it's really cramping my dress-wearing style! Have a good weekend!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876850521478546774noreply@blogger.com
