The humming of my friend is a song that helps me escape the stresses of my work day. I love sewing outfits that I wear to the office. It gives me much pleasure recieving compliments and knowing I couldn’t have done it without my friend, my sewing machine.”   Amy never replied to the emails that we sent her, so we chose another winner.

    I love sewing skirts and dresses and an working on improving my blouse-making skills. Sewing is my stress reliever!

  2. Pantera says

    November 1, 2016 at 10:34 am

    I love sewing any kind of women’s apparel as long as it is not dress shirts! I’m too impatient for all of the details and intricacies of button plackets, cuffs and yokes demand haha!

  3. Suzanne says

    November 1, 2016 at 10:28 am

    Knit tops and tees. But long flowy skirts as well.

  4. Pam O says

    November 1, 2016 at 10:20 am

    I love the way dresses make me feel, so dresses are my first choice to make.

  5. Jan Blankenship says

    November 1, 2016 at 9:54 am

    I’m making leggings this moment! So fast and easy!

  6. Marie says

    November 1, 2016 at 7:31 am

    I love to make pants! I’m a new sewer and I’ve worn my first pair of pants to work 3x so far. Very happy!

  7. Lisa says

    November 1, 2016 at 1:13 am

    I go through phases. A few years ago I would have said dresses, then pants and shorts, then more recently tops. Wonder what’s next!

  8. HHB says

    October 31, 2016 at 11:30 pm

    Adorable things for my daughter. But I feel like it’s time to start doing some for me… A great excuse to try these plus size patterns.

  9. Dee says

    October 31, 2016 at 11:12 pm

    Skirts are my favourite as they are the quickest and easiest with little fitting challenges. Having said that I make all my own pants as there is no ready to wear pants in this universe that fit me.

  10. Nienke says

    October 31, 2016 at 8:39 pm

    Tops and dresses

  11. Sara says

    October 31, 2016 at 8:03 pm

    Tops. Easy, fast and versatile

  12. Lorrie Gray says

    October 31, 2016 at 7:39 pm

    I am currently enamoured with sewing dresses, to try and update my wardrobe. I’ve found that I can add sweaters, vests, jackets, & other accessories to totally change the vibe of the dresses.

  13. Jan Dickson says

    October 31, 2016 at 7:29 pm

    I love to make myself dresses and hope to make 2017 the year when I make all my wardrobe.

  14. Jan says

    October 31, 2016 at 5:40 pm

    Dresses – I love the fabrics, I love wearing them, and I love making them.

  15. Jenny E says

    October 31, 2016 at 5:38 pm

    I love sewing a dress, there is something really fulfilling about sewing a garment that is a whole outfit in its own right. I always feel lighter and happier in a dress and get really excited about fabric choices, feels like there are endless options when creating a dress.

  16. Denise says

    October 31, 2016 at 5:21 pm

    For a fast sew, my TNT Concord T. But I also like to take my time, with details, so especially coats. You get to wear them so much, so all the work is worth it,

  17. Ann Shettles says

    October 31, 2016 at 5:14 pm

    Dresses – there is such variety of patterns out there.

  18. Denise says

    October 31, 2016 at 4:25 pm

    Knit tops are easy, but I love sewing crispy cotton skirts too.

  19. Stacey Mitchell says

    October 31, 2016 at 4:18 pm

    Skirts because they are easier to make.

  20. Rachel S says

    October 31, 2016 at 4:15 pm

    Hm. I’m currently on a mission to sew tunics! I’d also prefer to only be in the drawing for the first set – the second has little to entice me personally. Thanks!

  21. jennifer cearley says

    October 31, 2016 at 2:24 pm

    I love to sew dresses. That’s what I wear most of the time now, so it works out perfect!

  22. Sara A. says

    October 31, 2016 at 1:02 pm

    Lately I’ve been enjoying skirts. I’ve realized that I like and use separates a lot in my wardrobe. Now I just need to start making tops and t-shirts

  23. Denise Swanson says

    October 31, 2016 at 12:43 pm

    Shirts are my favorite thing to sew.

  24. Ericka says

    October 31, 2016 at 12:42 pm

    I love sewing peplum tops, circle skirts and dresses. I just can’t seem to get enough of it

  25. monica says

    October 31, 2016 at 12:32 pm

    I love sewing dresses and tops in cute crazy colors.

  26. deb butler says

    October 31, 2016 at 12:20 pm

    It’s got to be dresses….any fabric – cotton, stretch poly, viscose, scuba, wool, sateen, silk, linen. It doesn’t matter what the fabric is you’ll always find a pattern to suit. Good luck to everyone and happy sewing ?,

  27. j296155 says

    October 31, 2016 at 12:15 pm

    I like sewing tops. It is easier to fit since they usually fit without any adjustments on my part!!! I am psyching myself up to try sewing pants again!

  28. Kristina says

    October 31, 2016 at 12:09 pm

    I love sewing dresses and tops. These are the items I wear the most in my wardrobe (with jeans) and the ones I use the most.

  29. Amanda says

    October 31, 2016 at 11:35 am

    Dresses! With pockets!!! I also like trying new things.

  30. Jewel says

    October 31, 2016 at 11:18 am

    I love sewing tops and dresses! I am interested in the Winter package- love both of the dresses.

  31. Mariah/Knitmo says

    October 31, 2016 at 11:12 am

    Clothes! Specifically dresses, button up the front shirts and things that require button holes.

  32. Lara Neel says

    October 31, 2016 at 11:05 am

    I love to sew dresses!

  33. Molly LaLone says

    October 31, 2016 at 11:02 am

    I like knit tops, knit dresses, and knit cardigans! My favorite of the moment is a dress!

  34. deanna marie says

    October 31, 2016 at 10:58 am

    i like to sew dresses and skirts, but want to start sewing pants. I really like the Holiday/Winter patterns, very
    nice!

  35. Cheryl Seal says

    October 31, 2016 at 10:34 am

    So many choices as to my favorite article to sew…..But I would have to say it is a close race between shirts and jackets. I simply love the details that can be added to both of these and the professionalism that can be incorporated into them.
    Keep up the good work ladies…..love seeing what other curvy women are sewing.

  36. Janet says

    October 31, 2016 at 10:27 am

    I enjoy seeing new blouses or tops to wear with basic pants-never skirts

  37. Larissa Rachel says

    October 31, 2016 at 10:13 am

    Skirts and dresses I enjoy, but most of my sewing is making costumes for friends. In New Orleans there’s always a reason to dress up!

  38. natalie says

    October 31, 2016 at 10:04 am

    knit shirts are my favorite to sew up. I’m a new sewer and they are about all I’ve done! Hopefully I’ll branch out soon to skirts and dresses. Pattern pack 1 only please.

  39. Maude says

    October 31, 2016 at 10:04 am

    I like sewing Coats, because they are worn a lot, and it’s a lot of fun details to sew!!!

  40. Lorna says

    October 31, 2016 at 9:42 am

    Skirts, mostly because that’s all I’ve sewn. 🙂

  41. Shayna says

    October 31, 2016 at 9:41 am

    My go to tshirt pattern (idyllwild from itch to stitch). I know it fits perfectly so it’s just picking a sleeve length, cut and go!

  42. MaudieBrld says

    October 31, 2016 at 9:16 am

    Dresses! But really into buttoned-up shirts lately!

  43. Jessica Theodor says

    October 31, 2016 at 8:54 am

    So far, dresses.

  44. Kimberley Low says

    October 31, 2016 at 8:39 am

    Tanks and shells. As easy as t-shirts, but with the added benefit of no sleeves.

  45. Sarah De Visser says

    October 31, 2016 at 8:17 am

    T-shirts because they’re so quick and easy.

  46. Becky H says

    October 31, 2016 at 7:24 am

    Dresses — so many fun options!

  47. Aldara says

    October 31, 2016 at 5:39 am

    Skirts! almost no fitting for me there and they always look good.

  48. Catherine says

    October 31, 2016 at 5:22 am

    Definitely dresses. But I’m trying to broaden my skills and sew other garments!

  49. Eva-Maria Spoetta says

    October 31, 2016 at 3:34 am

    I love to sew dresses. They are so flattering and female 🙂

  50. Sandra says

    October 31, 2016 at 3:15 am

    Dresses! Especially skater dresses. Hardly any matching and there is an entire outfit. I’m branching out into woven dresses now, to extend my love.
