Title: Hello from Tucson AZ
Post by: marec on March 04, 2018, 21:26:42 PM
Hi all, I am marec from southwest US.  I have been sewing for most of my life but with intention the last 10-12 years.  I love planning and making capsule wardrobes, and am running out of closet space.  Though I like sewing knits, it is really too hot here for them so I also spend much time on shirtmaking. 

So glad to have found a nice place to chat.

Hi Marec - welcome. It would be wonderful to be too hot as it's been freezing (literally) over here for a while. :)

 Hi Marec
Welcome from me too.

I shouldn't complain about the weather (although it's our national obsession here) but I'm like one of those fussy houseplants that can't stand it too hot but don't like it cold and come over all dramatic in a draught! You'd never know I was brought up Up North without central heating or even a heater in my first car, we always had a 'car rug' on the knees!

Hello @marec ! Hope you are enjoying the forum.  I wonder if you can help me.  A friend of mine is going to visit her daughter in Tucson next year.  We have just got her hooked on dressmaking and I  am would like to know if you can recommend any fabric shops in your city?  I think she is especially looking for jersey.  Thanks if you can help, this is an amazing resource that can put us in touch with fellow sewers all around the world.   :loveit:

Hi @Hachi I saw from your message to Marec  that you  were from Tucson.  I am hoping to pick your brains for fabric shops back there.  My friend will be visiting her daughter there next year and she is interested in looking for dressmaking materials while she is over, especially jersey.  She has just been introduced to dressmaking and is really taking to it. Many thanks if you can help  :)
