Synopsis:
Sometimes to find your life's true path, you have to stray outside the lines . . .
Scarlet Santana is never happier than when creating fabulous fashions for women of all shapes and sizes. Now, after years of hard work, she finally has the chance to live her dream and study under the hottest designer in New York. To raise money for her move, Scarlet opens an after-hours sewing school in a local record shop, teaching a type-A working mom whose rigid parenting style is causing her family to unravel and an enigmatic seamstress with a mysterious past.
But as stitches give way to secrets and classmates become friends, the women realize an important truth: There is no single pattern for a good life. Happiness is always a custom fit.

I have very basic sewing skills, and can make pillows, but not clothes. I did make a quilted purse once and received many compliments, including a "I've never seen that pattern on the Vera Bradley website before!" hahahaha One lady I worked with was upset that I wouldn't make her daughter one. A--my free time was almost non-existant and valuable for creating for me. B--kids just tear that stuff up. C--my sewing machine doesn't like me and only works when my sister is in town to whip it into submission.

I do know how to sew, but it's been years since I've found time to. The best thing I made was probably a dress :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!

I do sew, but haven't done any big projects for a long while. I made a woolen suit when I was in college, and it turned out well. Now I make things like purses and shopping bags.

I do know how to sew at the basic level. The best thing I've made would be my cute dog-shaped pillow!

I don't sew, but I cross stitch! I've made several ornaments and framed designs and it's fun!

I know how to sew a bit. I recently bought a sewing machine and am trying to get better. The best thing I've made is cushions that spell out my son's names.

I sew quite a bit. In the course of a year I will make at least a dozen items. The best? I suppose the quilt I gave away on my blog last fall. I mentioned the idea of doing it again, and my entire family shouted, "No!"
ReplyDeleteI love to sew and once made a dress based on one of Rose's dresses from Titanic.

My sewing ability is limited to fixing loose/broken buttons. I wish I was more adept and really admire the ability and creativity of Project Runway contestants.
