Great jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have known how to sew most of my life but rarely sew my own clothes any more. I used to and then made clothes and p.j.'s for my kids when they were little. I have also sewn a lot of curtains and pillows and stuff like that. Now I mostly hem and modify existing garments. It is a very useful skill to have.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---its-been-forever#post-2398167 Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:50:33 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2398167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m glad to see you posting again.

Love me clothing items made of mesh as they allow a bit of easy transparency(grinning?) without showing too much and I do have long sleeve tops and a dress. <br />Wellcome back, Jenava-how old are the kiddos now? Remember they were just toddlers when you still posted years ago or so? I missed your posts! Yes body&nbsp; and life changes but our love of fashion and style never ends, isn't it...:-).<br />Seeing your curls I do&nbsp; have a serious hair envy&nbsp; and still I cannot do to myself but love the dark manicure, too!&nbsp; And,&nbsp;I am not a very skilled/precise/versed sewer but was sewing a lot in my youth and still boss my clothes to fit my&nbsp; body better so interested in your DIY&nbsp; projects, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---its-been-forever#post-2398090 Sat, 01 Nov 2025 16:01:39 +0000 Suz 2398090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeneva, so nice to see you!

I have taken a very long hiatus from this forum, but I have been thinking here and there about returning, so today is the day!</p> <p>I mostly work at home, but I like to dress decently, so I have never been the "business on top, loungewear on bottom" type of person.</p> <p>This is a NAS purchased mesh top by Farm Rio, worn with a brand new pair of jeans also from Nordstrom, and a pair of old but good suede ankle boots...also an NAS purchase years ago.</p> <p>Time sure flies! I have changed, my body has changed, but I still love style.</p> <p>I have been on a sewing journey and am slowly becoming versed in making completely custom garments, so I'm excited to share parts of that journey as well. Anyone else an avid sewist? </p>
