I bought myself a sewing machine last year, but I have yet to actually make any clothes with it. I've got 2 sweaters on the needles, but I do believe the one will end up as a gift because I used the wrong yarn for it. lol It looks great.

And what is up w/ the plus sizes patterns as of late? I too, ended up with a HUGE dress, by going off my measurements/pattern envelope size. **grin** and I too, should have basted first. Looks great!

A very happy day when the Fashion Police decided that it was cool to wear a tunic again - I've always thought they were a great look. Looks great, and I love the fabric.

I just have a sewing machine - no serger yet. I'm using one of the computerized Brother machines (bought from Amazon for about $150 or less.) A serger would be nice but I don't think I complete enough projects to warrant one just yet. And yes, I LOVE tunics! Thanks everyone!

I too am a fluffy gal and struggle to find great clothes. I pretend to know how to sew but have never really tried a pattern but will for sure visit your blog again when I decide to take that big step. Great blog and I love the shirt.

I have small sholders. I am wondering how it will be on me. Just imagine small shoulders and a beach ball with legs and you have my shape. I would also like to have a dress form but they are so expensive and I would still have to pad them. Any suggestions on how we could get a dress form inexpensively let me know. I saw one woman used the wrapping the doctors use to mend a broken leg. It worked great it seems but it was pretty costly. I just purchased that pattern. I have small sholders.
