They might not be totally fashionable, but they make me feel good and I can add features like pockets which are essential to me! Being 5ft 2 with big bust and short arms, I never can find things that fit correctly, and now that I knit, I have the tools to make stuff I can wear also. I wish I were better at designing, but the more I try the easier it gets.Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945452539961386358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1164244519919727792006-11-22T20:15:00.000-05:002006-11-22T20:15:00.000-05:00The first time I wore an outfit made specifically ...The first time I wore an outfit made specifically for me -- it was a costume I wore in <I>Bye Bye Birdie</I> I couldn't believe how well it fit and how great it looked on me.
