>I found the pointers very clear and ... simple, and manageable. I tend to purge my closet pretty brutally, but only since I've started sewing more have I been assertive about stocking it.
If you don't want to hang on to the book, sell it. Here's a quote about the book from a sewing message board:
"I finally found it in English at a reasonable price used on Amazon.com but the buyer reneged when she discovered that all the others were listing it for over $100.00. When she relists it I just might leave her bad feedback - how can anyone sell a $5.99 book for $122.00 with a clear conscience? Especially a little paperback."
Um, it's called supply and demand, and if someone is willing to pay $122 for something you have, then you can sell it with a clear conscience. (Unless you're a dictator and have restricted water supply, and you're selling it.)
> It's cool that you bought fabric.Uh, I dunno about that. The velours and the satin were an impulse purchase. Money is really tight.
>Do you really sew clothes?
Yup. I haven't bought anything RTW (ready-to-wear) in over a year. Oh, except for a cheap t-shirt because I had no clean casual top to wear under a suit for an in-law viewing. I altered the thing immediately (sewed curves out of the sides, and darts out of the back, to shape the waist) even though I was running late.
