Mastering the not sew fun part

 My teacher Don Mcunn gave some wonderful advice to one of my group members today.  He was responding to her comment about the doll slopers that he created for designing doll clothes. She was saying that it's nice to be able to use the slopers to design clothes for her doll because you can pretty much skip the...not sew fun stuff and just go straight to the fun part, Design.  He said, "Design is the fun part but  mastering fitted slopers is what will allow you to become self-sufficient and liberated from a dependence on others. Helping people achieve this kind of independence is what motivated me to write my book "How to Make Sewing Patterns."
        I have that book "How to make sewing patterns" and it is wonderful! I can tell that Mr. Mcunn likes to teach beginners and that he has thorough knowledge of fashion design :) I also agree with my fellow member. It is fun to just do the designing. I myself like to alter store bought patterns to create  new designs but I want to have a deeper understanding of fashion design. I decided today to focus and commit myself to learning. I am sew excited you all! :)
Take care :) 
Peace!
