I have done it a couple of times and actually it was worth it, though!<br />About Pattern Review, I find it very useful but not friendly to navigate. However, I try to contribute to return the information I get.<br />BTW, I do love topstitching, I find it adds a refined finish to a garment with very little effort, as long as it its properly sewn!<br />Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416838483933287145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-31039520368439600472018-06-16T03:34:24.112-07:002018-06-16T03:34:24.112-07:00That lulu story is fascinating!

Changes that seem easy to others can be extremely time consuming. My guess is that PR is built on an old website design and to make the 'corrections' would require wholesale scrapping. Consider that there is a large database behind it that would need to be migrated somehow. I wouldn't want to do it, and that's a lot for one person, or even a few people, to handle. PR is mostly free and useful, and that's enough for me. I try to remember this whenever I get frustrated on how to enter Burda patterns in the search feature. <br /><br />On topstitching. I consider it to be a casual detail. For more dressy clothes (or work clothes) I tend to do (invisible) hand stitching instead. As one of those people that lines of things on tabletops, I can see the attraction though!Jen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168401135498974644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-52628200178451514742018-06-14T08:00:07.699-07:002018-06-14T08:00:07.699-07:00I have a pile of nice garments I need to do small ...I have a pile of nice garments I need to do small alterations on. I resist so much! I really don't understand why once the item is finished, it's so hard to make a simple fix that would get me wearing it more often. Lovely foxgloves! My potted foxglove is about to bloom too. Just a couple months ago I thought it was on its way out, but a bigger pot seemed to do the trick!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979808408348106338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-81957624587826943662018-06-14T06:39:00.085-07:002018-06-14T06:39:00.085-07:00Another great post with sew much to think about.

Fixes - all the time, if I like the garment and want to keep it. Sometimes I just change something to make it different, add a ruffle, shorten, add elastic or sleeves. Flowers - beautiful!cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471503493847157995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-4669007582792466342018-06-14T01:03:03.954-07:002018-06-14T01:03:03.954-07:00What we want from Pattern Review is for it to be a...What we want from Pattern Review is for it to be a but more like Ravelry is for knitters and less like a website from 2002.Mirianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236111119718805934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-65493111164953264912018-06-13T18:44:58.196-07:002018-06-13T18:44:58.196-07:00I laughed out loud reading this - LuLaRoe products...I laughed out loud reading this - LuLaRoe products look like toddler clothes for grown women! I've had exactly the same thoughts. Someone would rave about them, I'd take a look and couldn't imagine myself wearing them, but then thought maybe that is just my age talking (53). And... sigh...
