Hi all - so glad to have found some familiar faces and looking forward to getting to know many new ones.  I am a garment sewer with the occassional required foray into home dec but much of my time over the past couple of years has been spent developing my own set of slopers and base patterns. It has been a time consuming and, at ties, frustrating, process but thoroughly enjoyable and certainly a worthwhile one.  I used to fit others but doing it for oneself is a whole 'nother cat!
