And that mug is awesome!<br />I have had great comments on my clothing to which I thank them for the compliment and share my enthusiasm for sewing and encourage them to give it a try. I am getting better at saying no to those who ask me to make something for them. I have even given "lessons"(they pick a project and I walk them through the process but they do the work) to friends so they can see the work that goes into a garment and they have never asked again after that. <br />But mostly I have had good experiences. This past weekend my husband got a big kick out of counting the compliments I received on my self made skirt. Counting seven in one day.(all strangers) It usually sparks interesting conversations with people, I especially love the ones with older folks reminiscing about the times when they used to sew as well.

Such a pretty coloured top and looks very comfortable.

I've put way too much time and hard work into developing these skills to just hide them. If they start bugging me about alterations or making them something I refer them to a housekeeper here that is actually willing to take on extra jobs like that. A win-win scenario for everyone!Annehttp://clothingengineer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723460136926720733.post-90825559780221145622013-08-25T16:19:39.692-05:002013-08-25T16:19:39.692-05:00Lovely top.

In my last job everyone assumed I made it as I never make a secret of my sewing or knitting . I admit to sewing clothes quite happily if anyone asks me (and sometimes even if they don't). It is very interesting to see the different reactions people have to sewing your own clothes and it sounds like your colleague is impressed with your skills...as well she might be given the quality of your work.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380047564035289054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723460136926720733.post-52264232761286902042013-08-25T12:49:15.816-05:002013-08-25T12:49:15.816-05:00Maybe your co-worker could take sewing lessons.......Maybe your co-worker could take sewing lessons.....just a thought :).<br />If someone compliments something I'm wearing I say Thank You. If they ask me were I bought it then I tell them I made it. Great top and the color is very pretty!!!!

People I know don't ask about my clothes since I'm known for making them all and considered a bit weird I suspect. I tend to dodge the questions if they do.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.com
