Considering the limited time I have to sew, there's a lot of stuff that I probably will never bother with, especially when it can be bought cheaper (like linens). Still, I have this urge to be able to sew anything, just to be complete. I want to sew a bra just to say I did, even if I'll probably never do as good a job as RTW.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010157030928886281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-4088040781084836222010-11-29T07:19:04.246-08:002010-11-29T07:19:04.246-08:00I would probably have to say no undergarments.

I seriously went the better portion of my teen years and the first five years of my marriage with two bras, just was never able to find a good fit anywhere (I finally have a good collection now) so I'll say I would never sew a bra.<br /><br />I did however just pick up McCalls 6128 and 5651 for making panties, which to me seem much more practical than a bra. I'll end up making them with the bags and bags of scraps and remnants left over from all my knit sewing projects.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077189485052826765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-87018801124947589312010-11-23T06:55:26.472-08:002010-11-23T06:55:26.472-08:00Happy Blogoversary!

I prefer clothing. I also haven't jumped on the underwear bandwagon, but I won't say I'll never do it.

I took care of that so I am now a follower. AS far as what I refuse to sew, I would never say never to anything, but I think I would be hard pressed to ever sew jeans.

(a) I don't wear some things and (b) my boobs are so massive I prefer to leave them in the hands of professionals.<br /><br />I also refuse to sew for other people outside my home. My mother is to blame for that. When I was a teenager beginning to get my sew mojo on, my mother would have me do all these alterations and sewing for other people. What I didn't know was that they were paying her and she wasn't passing the money on to the person who was actually doing the work. That clinched it for me. I no longer trust other people.Bootzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664655090937726673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-13425402210845432822010-11-23T02:42:43.579-08:002010-11-23T02:42:43.579-08:00I am a novice at this so I can't refuse anythi...I am a novice at this so I can't refuse anything at this point.

I feel like I would sew anything, maybe except a bra - that needs a lot of effort for something I can get more professionaly looking and fitting in a shop. I dont think it would bring me the joy of sewing. And probably socks - for the same reasons :-). Otherwise, I cant think of anything that would put me off from sewing. I am afraid of sheer and flimsy fabrics, but I still (masochistically) want to sew with them :-). <br />Thank you for the give-aways, even if I dont win :-).

However, If given a choice between sewing clothes and lingerie/undergarments, I would choose clothes. For me, I value time and spending so much time on sewing undergarments does not justify my efforts as I can just go out and buy them and I know they will fit well. The other things would be bedsheets. It's just not time and money savvy to sew them myself. I rather buy them at the yearly sale. In Singapore, I know I can get a good quality bed sheet set at a really good price during the sale time of the year.Uma Mageswari Prevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193905345128898421noreply@blogger.com
