I find Peter Lappin's review at patternreview inspiring and entertaining. Here is a link to his blog. When I have time to read about the settings here I will figure out how to list my favorite blogs.

I see about 6 shirts he made with this Robert Green shirt from a 70's pattern. I had that pattern! I fear I threw it out, something I seldom do.
I remember seeing a link to Threads magazine with Peter's note he was in it! So I had to go back and see which issue. Unfortunately it is the Jan 2012 issue that is not in my archive CD. He wrote an article about having lots of vintage sewing machines he loves. I once spent a lot of time trying to get rugged, easy to use great machines for teaching sewing classes to groups.
I didn't finish the dress for my granddaughter. I was very upset. However several days of sore throats and dragging energy didn't help. It was complicated enough, with an overskirt, slippery and ravelly fabric that I didn't want to ruin it and rush. I had already put one sleeve in wrong and had to rip it out.
I rested today and my sore throat is gone. Tomorrow is my first day of volunteer tutoring. On the 28th I will finish the dress.
I did finish that "cookbook" for my daughter and son in law. He seemed excited! He was going through and saw the German oven pancake recipe in her printing from when she was 8 or 9, and various family members' favorite recipes. He could see the ones I had used because of the stains on them. I revised it this last week after thinking over some things.
