My girls and I love racer back tops. We work out and have nice shoulders and want to show them.

I don’t find visible bra straps a problem and younger women don’t mind at all.

Spaghetti straps are very pretty too. I wouldn’t wear them to sit in the sun all day but otherwise, very cool and comfortable.

Ok, I need your input again. What are your feelings about spaghetti straps. For yourself, I mean. Will you wear them? And what about shirts with racer backs? Too hard to wear with a bra?

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…

Liesl Gibson started the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 8 years ago

As I’m developing some new patterns I’ve been wondering: how many of you sew or would like to sew for the men in your life? And what would you like to sew for them?

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Cotton/nylon blend fabric? in the forum off topic 8 years ago

Have you tried the Outdoor Ready series on our blog? As I recall, Ashley had a nice post there about sourcing fabric for purposes like this. I remember that Rose City Textiles was listed as an option, but maybe she mentioned others as well?

Well, it looks like I made a spelling error. So, for catching it, @lightningmcstitch, you have to take the next line:

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Time for clothing, to be, exchanged.

I just want to sit down and sew!
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago

I finished my turn on the #sewingrota on a high with some gorgeous back jeans for me!
Three pairs of jeans, a denim shirt and four tee’s were a much needed injection of clothing in my wardrobe.

Now I am on to formal sewing, Zara’s first. Some gorgeous Gatsby inspired sequinned tulle.

Watch your sleeve cap, it may need a little pinched from it, it is easy to do after sewing.
I ave found (with a longer tee/tee dress) you can get some odd things happen at the shoulder due to the extra weight of the extra fabric.

Nicole replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 8 years ago

@sewgirl23
I think the 2+2 would be gorgeous. Just under the tie, instead of the tab.
ASM Blue did a gorgeous Ice Cream blouse. I would use gingham, so I could stitch the squares, rather then pleat.

I still love French knots.

I think simple smocking looks cleaner and more modern.
