Hi! I joined a few weeks ago, but have been busy since then lol. I am a new sewist (just started this year!) and have been working my way through various patterns to try and learn the ropes. Of course I started this because I don't fit a lot of off the rack cloths right (small top, large hip) and wanted to make clothes I like that fit me. Haha easier said than done.
just trying to figure it all out

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Welcome to TSP.  Your fitting dilemma is not unusual.  Had that problem all my life even when I was thinnish!

Welcome @whiskeyecho. I too have a smaller top than bottom although since lockdown lard struck my middle now seems to be as big as anything!!

Welcome @whiskeyecho, you'll learn loads here, ask if you can't figure something out and never ever think you're asking a daft question because they don't exist  :thumbsup:

Hi @whiskeyecho and welcome to TSP. PA is a big state which part are you from?

@Helen M you gave me a real chuckle with that. Pennsylvania is something like 31 or 32 on the list of states by size. Sitting here in California, where we could squeeze in 3 ½ of them, we don't think of it as a particularly large state. Everything is relative isn't it?

They are 5th by population though so rather densely populated.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.
