Hello - was Jacky F but now sticking with Marniesews

Having been Marniesews for the intervening weeks since TSF went down, I thought I'd stick with it as I'm known as Marnie by lots of people anyway (named by my granddaughter). Looking forward to lots of dancing talk in the Dancewear section - can't believe I've not actually been there yet!

As always I'm doing this back to front so this isn't my first post but without any UK forum, I was desperate for some local knowledge as soon as I arrived!  :)
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

What sort of dance wear, Roger? Just curious, not really important as most of us share a stretchy leotard base somewhere along the line.

There seemed to be a few more of us doing ballroom & latin just before the TSF crash although the ballet brigade were always the largest single discipline. I fear the B&L numbers are now very low but hopefully that will change. Probably the most knowledgeable in the ballroom is CarolC who's here now  0_0 but there are lots of crossovers with skating, ballet and gymnastics etc.
