You are the first sewist online that has documented how long it may take to sew a garment. I look at patterns and I immediately know how much time it will take for me to complete and decide whether I want to invest that much time out of my week. So I now invest in the best fabric I can afford and use patterns that are classic and easy which allows the fabric to shine.
I love these pieces! And I particularly love how you take a piece that you’ve seen somewhere and try to find a pattern etc that could work to “copy it”. I do this all the time and the challenge is to find a pattern that is a good base. Thank you for all your hard work into making your posts so lovely AND practical.
Thank you so much for this kind comment! Recreating inspiration pieces is one of my favorite parts of sewing, and finding the right pattern base really is the trick. I’m so glad the posts feel both useful and enjoyable. I appreciate you reading and taking the time to comment.

Thank you Sandra! The time component is a real consideration and I completely agree with your approach.
