I don't actually have any dress patterns myself, though I've been thinking about looking into that too. <BR/>To find a pattern you can look at some of the pattern companies online (simplicity.com, mccall.com, butterick.com, etc) or go to a fabric store and look through their pattern books. Take your measurements so you can get the right amount of material. <BR/>I think some patterns will have a rating as to whether the pattern is easy or difficult. Most importantly, read all the directions and make sure you understand them. And, if you're a beginner, be patient with yourself. =)Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570718941895225222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-89766665515174826512009-03-16T10:16:00.000-05:002009-03-16T10:16:00.000-05:00Aimee,Just ran across your blog site while searchi...Aimee,<BR/><BR/>Just ran across your blog site while searching for organic cotton sources, and am very impressed with your sewing skills! Was wondering if you had any advice or patterns for a relatively simple dress? I'm fairly new at sewing, but want to make myself something to wear around town this summer. Let me know if you have any seamstress wisdom to send my way!<BR/><BR/>-Meganmeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035025428541441481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-60880426588389830972008-10-08T19:26:00.000-05:002008-10-08T19:26:00.000-05:00nah-uh!

Our gas heater failed, so we haven't had any heat for a the last two nights, so if you could send a couple quilts our way...<BR/><BR/>Sucks with the unemployment deal.<BR/><BR/>This seems to be a good place to point out culture shock issues. I was at an Octoberfest, and they had hotdogs. I asked for the mayonnaise condiment. They gave me a look like I was insane, asking me why in the world I'd want mayyonaise for a hotdog? But they did have pickles. (ick.)Jed Carosaarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775889983099808362noreply@blogger.com
