I know why I follow these blogs but I still haven't figured out where I fit in. As in high school, sometimes you just don't belong to the clique and you circle around watching everyone.

I suppose the big four perhaps, but my vintage pattern stash begs to say otherwise. i definitely don't fit with the "indie pattern" crowd.

I'm not so much into fashion although I've been leaning more than way recently. I make accessories--personal and home--more than anything, which is a big reason why I follow http://resweater.blogspot.com/. Kris is so imaginative and isn't afraid to try to make just about anything. She gives me courage and inspiration! I've spent SO many of my years following directions and rules, and it's refreshing to be free from the exactness of patterns.Kimhttp://www.needlesandkims.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-7564667260981435032012-03-08T12:38:56.037-08:002012-03-08T12:38:56.037-08:00Thanks for mentioning us!

Up until we got the blog going, I mainly sewed with the big 4 patterns and hadn't even thought about sewing without using someone else's pattern. I also used to sew more for me than for my daughter...Trying to get more in balance!{jen} iCandyhandmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824940083653725896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-52300536128809570232012-03-08T12:15:02.026-08:002012-03-08T12:15:02.026-08:00I laughed so hard at the chevrons!

And because I like dressing childishly, apparently! Like a lot of the other commenters, I don't think I fit in any category, especially once you throw in geekery as well.

I'm guessing you are more interested in modern Japanese fabrics, patterns and crafts - but if you find the traditional aspect interesting - please feel free to check out my other blog: http://www.kimonoasobi.com.<br /><br />Ultimately, my personal sewing goal is to combine my love of vintage Western fashion with my love of vintage kimono fabric. Hopefully I'll have time to focus on that aspect more in the near future.Naomi~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11062750531296926717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-86428924069683873432012-03-08T08:48:40.539-08:002012-03-08T08:48:40.539-08:00These divisions you came up with are awesome-yes, ...These divisions you came up with are awesome-yes, cliques like high school, but without the snark, usually. I would put myself in the Big 4 category as I sew mainly Vogue and Butterick designs. My goal is to produce capsules, with pieces that compliment each other. I occasionally dip into the indie patterns for a shot at wearable art, then scurry back over to the plain jane Big 4. PR was a wonderful inspiration for awhile, but I now visit in quick bursts and depend more upon my own intuition. <br /><br />I love reading a variety of sewing blogs, and seeing designs made up by a variety of ages of women. <br /><br />Good luck with Project Runway. !!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517527498809073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-48392166548844798082012-03-08T08:22:23.024-08:002012-03-08T08:22:23.024-08:00Justine!

Though, come to think of it, I still talk about them on my own blog. I guess once a mommy, always a mommy, but I do spend less time reading about kid projects.
