Okay, first, in glancing at this thread, I wondered how we got from talking about body shapes and sizes to talking about "soo-ers", like the storm sewer in my backyard. I guess it pays to actually read the posts.
Anyway, can't sew at all, except a hem or button in desperation. I once tried that fuseable web stuff to make a fabric shade. Cutting it out whas horrible, even though it was essentially a big rectangle. Also, I didn't read the directions enough to note that you start ironing from the CENTER OUT instead of from one end to wherever the iron goes. I ironed a HUGE fold and several wrinkles into it. Pair that with the saggy fabric covered cardboard cornice I made, and it just SCREAMS homemade house decor. (sigh)
Racer, when I was a kid I used to write poetry. I made a little poetry book for my Grandma using her typewriter, a novel thing for me (pardon the near-pun). She recently gave it back to me along with other letters and little things I had written. What a talented little goof-poet I was. Having this back means a lot to me, too--that she saved them and wanted me to be able to look back. I always got a lot of praise from her about my writing. (So maybe I should have her help me with my dissertation??? :)
Take care all,
