Sewing Quote of the Day

Date:  Friday, April 5, 2013
Time:  Afternoonish

Co-worker:  "You should stop at Hancock Fabrics and ask them about the chiffon."
Me:  "Really?  I was thinking about just throwing it away or using it to wrap presents."
Co-worker:  "There might be some tape or adhesive that you can use to fix your problem."

(A little while later)

Same co-worker:  "Vogue and Butterick patterns have more pieces which is why they fit better.  The more pieces the closer the fit."
Me:  "Oh!" (a-ha moment unfolding!)  "That makes sense..."
Co-worker:  "Vogue patterns.  Be careful with those.  They can tend to be complicated because they are...(pause for effect)...VOGUE!"

It was as if this lightbulb clicked on for me...

Me:  "...and Simplicity patterns are SIMPLE!  I get it!  Here I thought it was a play on words but it's really truth."
