I also got new glasses recently and my optometrist switched up the prescription a bit to make the reading part stronger and the distance part slightly weaker . Mine are also a bit bigger. I can read so much better and haven't noticed a difference with the distance .Lisa J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367339236614679822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-54407022542251755122019-12-06T19:03:33.436-05:002019-12-06T19:03:33.436-05:00I love your jackets!

Never mind, I think that boat has sailed for me. It's nice to hear of sentiment winning the day and that the jackets are still with you.Raewynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123089629481933099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-42410034358454278992019-12-05T22:50:38.569-05:002019-12-05T22:50:38.569-05:00So great to see these jackets.

After the fact, I've seen others that let me know I should have had a book or class to make it look so much better.

It looked great, just not on me, as I had made the body too short. So, I gave it away, but looking at yours reminds me of how much fun it was to do that. I think I like your purple one best.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283575512727062312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-40984610962642978462019-12-05T14:57:25.915-05:002019-12-05T14:57:25.915-05:00Your jackets make a wonderful story of friendship ...Your jackets make a wonderful story of friendship and creativity.

I would hang on to them as well - just because of all the work you put into them and the special occasions they are for. So you have four hangers in your closet that aren't Marie Kundo approved. Who cares?! She'll never know unless she Googles her name and your blog comes up.

I have a ton of patterns for jacket and fabric purchased with the intent to make jackets, that I have to acknowledge I'm never going to do and donate them away, the patterns not the fabric. My good intentions never seemed to make it to implementation.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-86582699541056522052019-12-05T11:03:40.363-05:002019-12-05T11:03:40.363-05:00Marie Kondo doesn't know everything . . .Marie Kondo doesn't know everything . . .Barb Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886530410606428064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-72473949565665576392019-12-05T10:45:07.134-05:002019-12-05T10:45:07.134-05:00What fun to see these.

Like you, I started by sewing cloths (although I think it was actually Barbie doll clothes, we couldn't afford the store bought ones). Mom had got a pattern ( I still have it), and watching her at her Kenmore had me so enthralled, I wanted to try. That led to making most of my own clothes. I have a couple of McCall's pattern that have quilted designs incorporated into them, but I never had the nerve to try them. Now that I have been quilting for a few years, maybe I should have a go.
