I definitely think I learned a lot from just watching my mum, even though I still had a big learning curve when I started sewing myself.westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-78530041695106760382014-04-26T13:28:47.438+01:002014-04-26T13:28:47.438+01:00Great post!

This is why apprenticeships work but often the apprentices don't realise it till later. And the whole sushi master thing - don't the apprentices sweep up for five years before they touch the food, or something?Lyndlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074439380587418342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-11003849198433054082014-04-09T20:55:19.058+01:002014-04-09T20:55:19.058+01:00Oh man, yes.

I know that not all plus sized women are large busted, but *most* of the ones that I see who'd I'd estimate wear above a US RTW size 16/18 look like they are usually *at least* a DDD cup. /rantMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-81964720063351785012014-04-09T20:01:20.771+01:002014-04-09T20:01:20.771+01:00Thanks! :D I think the first indie that makes a se...Thanks! :D I think the first indie that makes a serious, genuine attempt to create a plus-size sewing pattern line, which recognizes that plus-size women come in a variety of shapes and offers something more interesting than the Big 4 will do really well. It's an obvious gap in the market and it's historically seriously underserved.westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-40153759263922061622014-04-09T19:50:34.061+01:002014-04-09T19:50:34.061+01:00In my opinion, little stuff like a 2x3 pouch is WA...In my opinion, little stuff like a 2x3 pouch is WAY more difficult than bigger bags. It's so fiddly and awkward, especially if you're putting a zip in to such a small item! <br /><br />I love the GBSB as well -- you're going to love those last two eps when you get to them! :Dwestmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-47479257459903339672014-04-09T18:58:44.878+01:002014-04-09T18:58:44.878+01:00That bag is gorgeous!

You addressed something that I've rarely seen mentioned elsewhere--that different styles are flattering on different plus sized figure types.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-56046717538682551812014-04-09T16:56:38.616+01:002014-04-09T16:56:38.616+01:00Oh and I found episodes 1-3, 5 and 6 online.
