Ah, but she's a somewhat "standard" size. Not so easy for others... but you're good at that too.

And I think you'd make an awesome stylist.

Oh, thanks, J! Will that work with knit fabric? I can hem things, but the tape would sure be easier.

It does. You use different heat settings depending on what kind of fabric you're hemming.

I know you're fond of trotting out the sandwiches when someone posts a model pic, but I don't think she needs one.

I agree, she's just nice and slim. Antigone, I think that you might need to be tall to carry this off. I could be wrong of course, nice simple shape.
