I can't stand to have a gazillion loose bobbins in my drawers with their tangling threads and I also use a bobbin as thread when I make a practice muslin just to use up the thread.sewistafashionistahttp://sewstorebought.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-55960148190379985732010-07-07T17:40:30.267-07:002010-07-07T17:40:30.267-07:00You look great in your new swimsuit!

I'm not as "blessed" as some of you Ladies (I'm only a C cup) but this suit almost didn't provide me enough support. I'd definitely prefer underwire myself. <br /><br />Country Girl Couture, what a GREAT tip.

Saves that much in thread and another trip to the store. :-)<br /><br />You did an excellent job on the suit, you look very fabulous! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-68754371209601893232010-07-05T06:48:51.003-07:002010-07-05T06:48:51.003-07:00Victoria WOW, beautiful job!
