One time he found a Navy swimming trunk he liked but it was a little small. I really want to make him a swim trunk for next summer (want to try to replicate the one he liked). I'm kind of good with the sewing but not so good at fabrics. I know my fabrics in Brazil but I havent really taken the time to learn about american fabrics. Could you please, give me some idea of what fabric I could use? He wants something snug but not to tight. Also, I'm looking for something with some stretch but thinker than swimming wear fabrics. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us. You are an AMAZING woman.

But the better you get, the more exciting and fun it is. It's akin to learning how to play an instrument. You have to work through some of the tedium and frustration to get to the point where you can really flow with the music. Then you find so much joy in it, you can't imagine doing anything else and you are so very glad you didn't give up. I wish I had a great source like this blog when I started! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-85688587400480186602012-08-30T19:31:00.119-07:002012-08-30T19:31:00.119-07:00Hi Mimi,

I just wanted to add that if folks don't have a Joann fabrics near them they can get 60% off an item by entering code FAB243.<br /><br />I think what you are doing is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for your enthusiasm and willingness to share with everyone.

I was with her when she bought it and went with her to the classes. She bought it 1982 when I was just 12. I also have two vintage Kenmores that I love and a serger. I would recommend a vintage machine to anyone but with help in choosing one. I love mine because they can sew through nearly anything. <br /><br />Keep up the good work. I really enjoy reading your blog.
