During our first monthly meeting of the year, I discovered the difference between the sizes of ready made garments and sizes of a pattern. Though I am a size 6, I cannot get the same pattern's size of the same; I need to buy a size 14 in pattern!! Yes, I am so shock, just shock. I can't be that big! I am a petite woman of 5 feet tall and 120 lb, I can't be in size 14, that's just ridiculous!. But, after a few minutes of explaining the difference and how to read a pattern (yes, you have to actually read the pattern, plus the instruction carefully before cutting it.), they managed to calm me down.
Thought I know a lot about sewing, think again!!!! We will get together again next month for a fitting, I was asked to bring a pattern with a muslin or gingham fabric to practice on.
For February, a scrap caddy will be our project. I'll post the picture once we're done with it.
Happy New Year!! May it will you prosperity, health and happiness. - Meela
