Crow will wear his cravat for you when next he dons his smoking jacket :-)<br /><br />spadoman - I got into silk painting a few years ago, my main pastime besides drawing and painting watercolors. A problem that still recurs is not having either enough time or space for all the things I'd like to do. Maybe some day..<br /><br />nunley - You must have had a pretty lame teacher if she wasn't able to replace those in a hurry :-) Glad you like the scarves.<br /><br />randal - I really like the minimalist approach. You should see the white ones!<br /><br />lol - Making skirts is pretty simple and I'm sure you'd have fun too. I bought a Euro-Pro 7500XH Craft and Sew which is very cool.

I'm ready to learn though. I'm really interested in what type of sewing machine you bought.<br /><br />I am signed up for a knitting class at the end of the month. Maybe I should take a sewing class...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-34346668098704215212009-05-19T07:49:00.000-07:002009-05-19T07:49:00.000-07:00Yes, the colors in your scarves are amazing.

The only time I was put in front of a sewing machine was when I was in Home Ec in high school. My friend and I sneaked into the classroom one morning and removed all the needles in the machines so we wouldn't have to sew that day...kind of tells you what a brat I was, and how much I feared "the machine".Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-90721578871328832862009-05-19T06:21:00.000-07:002009-05-19T06:21:00.000-07:00I'm certainly not much of a fashion critic, but if...I'm certainly not much of a fashion critic, but if I turn my head to look, I must have noticed something. Pretty much is the way clothes are worn that catches my eye. I find all sorts of things attractive.<br /><br />Glad you are enjoying the new machine. The enthusiasm is great, isn't it? I have had the same feelings about my works since I moved and have room to spread out my stuff.<br /><br />So, you "paint" the material? Then sew it into scarves? Who knew, (I said I didn't know anything about fashion).<br /><br />What about that flag? E-mail if interested. Nylon would be good! Simple design. Of course I'll pay what it warrants. Let me know.<br /><br />Peace.Spadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-65415039392398950572009-05-18T22:19:00.000-07:002009-05-18T22:19:00.000-07:00OMG, you are a woman of soooo many talents.

However, I did some hand sewing with glove leather once and didn't like it.. too much like skin.<br /><br />the crow - I use charmeuse almost exclusively just for that reason. The scarves are fairly light weight but the little bags are made from the thickest I can find.<br /><br />liberality - The longest ones I wear anymore are about 6" above my ankles. Have you ever had a wrap around one come untied? That's fun too.<br /><br />sera - I might be able to find a spot for a mannequin if I painted it first and called it a sculpture. I'm glad you like the scarves :-)<br /><br />linda - I've made some smaller ones but they weren't dramatic or luxurious enough for my taste. Except for the hottest days they're good pretty much year round.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-22172539934317073852009-05-18T00:21:00.000-07:002009-05-18T00:21:00.000-07:00oh those scarves are amazing, susan...do you ever ...oh those scarves are amazing, susan...do you ever do anything smaller, like three feet instead of nine, for summer?
