I know that blogger RetroChick also had a guide for finding your personal style.<br /><br />Regarding fabrics, I've read two blog posts that has helped me with buying more quality fabrics. First; don't compare your work to H&M, if you must compare the quality should match that of J.Crew or similar (don't remember who this was). Secondly, if you buy expensive fabric and it doesn't work out, you've learnt something from your project, so the money could be considered a course in your hobby (Lena of The Sewing Space, just a few days ago).<br /><br />Here's to happy 2014 sewing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-85337152064039325932014-01-07T19:15:16.923+00:002014-01-07T19:15:16.923+00:00Thanks Amy!
