    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    yeah, that is exactly what i end up doing as well.My dedication to neatness and perfectly finsihed seams/hems can vary depending on the project and my mood( and how much time i have till i have to wear the thing)lol . I wasn't sure if there is a "proper" method for this.

    The ones that got away

    i really don't have much luck either.i seem to always want the same things everyone else does and "everyone else" seems to have a lot more money that i do:rolleyes: I have started to change the way i do searches.I avoid using terms like "vintage" or an era like" 1930's dresses" .Sometimes...

    How to get pale, luminous skin?

    Rimmel's "Recover" foundation is amazing.It claims to be illuminating and fight the look of fatique and believe me ...it does.I have always found Rimmel's foundations work well for me, but this one takes the cake.

    Gaining/maintaining weight? Slowing down metabolism?

    ooh. Good luck.i worked in a Patisserie for 3 years and i quickly became fast friends with several of the Pastry Chefs who used to leave little scraps of goodies on the edge of their work tables that i could munch on through the day.Funny thing though, i actually LOST weight while i was there...
