I get a lot of email now from people who are new to sewing, and who want (for some reason) my advice. Just last week I got a very kind email from Elizabeth, who wanted me to help her choose between two patterns.
Now, usually, my advice is just to buy both, to avoid regret, but I went and looked at her pattern choices. Her choice B was unremarkable (and a little difficult for a first project) but her choice A ... I fell in love.
If her choice A had been in a romantic comedy, I would have been in the role of matchmaker, and this would have been the perfect guy ... who then asked to be set up with my best friend. Hijinks would ensue.
But, I hear you asking, how lovely WAS choice A? Here, you tell me:
Now, giving advice to newbies is a sacred trust, and even though the dress was up for auction on eBay, I couldn't go and snipe it! That wouldn't be sporting! So I appeal to you all -- does anyone have a copy of this for sale? B36, by preference?
At least I am consoled by the thought that one new sewist is going to have a very happy first dress!
