Anyone ever order anything from www.sewinglingerie.com? I read a review on this woman's patterns in this months Threads and decided to take a look. There are a few patterns I'm really interested in and bonus she's :Canada: .
So, just curious if anyone has tried her patterns and how they fit.

I have never ordered from her. Two weeks ago, I attended the Original Sewing and Quilting Expo in VA, and I attended her class, called Lingerie Secrets. The class didn't thrill me, b/c it didn't go into any more depth really than reading pattern instructions. I think it was mostly PR work. I did get a couple of good tidbits though: 1) Out of all the things you could sew for yourself, undies would probably be the one thing that you could make for yourself cheaper than you can buy in the store. B/c they require so little fabric, so you could make many pair out of one yard. And 2) Jan Bones recommends recycling discarded t-shirts to make a cotton crotch.
