This week was a brutal one for me. All week I’ve felt like my patience had been tested, I was tired, dragging myself to work each day, feeling like just nothing was going right. We all have those weeks, right? Then, to my surprise, I found my Betty Pattern had been featured on one of my sewing idol’s blogs – Gertie’s Blog for Better Sewing! Totally turned my sour mood right around. In the last couple of months, I have had some great feedback from the Lingerie Addict, and now Gertie. I am feeling even more confident and excited about Ohhh Lulu. A Big, big, big “Thank you!”
Remember the lovely padded sets I made a few weeks back? Well, I was so please to see the recipient wrote this amazing post on Style & Then Some. Sophie was such a doll to work with. Feedback like this quite literally brings a tear to my eye. After years of working hard and doing jobs I didn’t really want to do (and sometimes down right hated), it is so rewarding to be able to do something that I love, and to make something that other people cherish.
Thanks everyone! It has been a great week! I am excited to have a 4 day weekend this weekend, and a mini vacation coming up. I’ll be sticking around the house, sewing, gardening, dog-sitting, and of course, blogging

August 3, 2012 at 2:29 pmI was so excited for you when I saw Gertie's blog yesterday! Congrats on all of the great 'press' – it is well deserved, and I'm sure satisfying after years of very hard work.
Enjoy your nice long weekend and have great little vacation!

August 4, 2012 at 5:48 amHi Sarah, I saw it too yesterday, and was very touched and exited for you. You have been working hard and it finally pays of. I laughed when I read Gertie's post, cause I made the knickers too a while ago and was a bit shy about how big they looked laying flat (to shy to take a picture and post it) Same thoughts about sharing my underwear online, hehe. But I am glad Gertie did, and we can all fell free to discuss how great the bum looks in this pattern of yours.
I made a bathing suit version of them a few days ago, and I will post about it shortly.

August 5, 2012 at 12:32 amJust found your blog via Gertie's…. Just spent the past hour reading your old posts. Between you and Gertie, I now have the strongest desire for new knickers. Wonder if i could convert one of the cute bras into a maternity bra? So over wearing ugly black bulky things. Any hints?
