hi all...
i used to post here fairly frequently oh, a few years back....then life
got way too busy. i realized i've been responding to posts and maybe
ought to come out of lurkdom...

so, i'm betsey. 42, still blonde, still chunky<g>, two kids...katie is
now almost 13 and nate turns five in january. one husband, two dogs,
two bunnies and two horses.

in recent months i've started lurking again, as my daughter is getting
into the breed show thing with her palomino, and out of necessity, i
will have to start sewing her her show outfits (you'd not imagine the
cost...some of you could really clean up sewing for these folks!). I'm
intiminated by the thought of the sewing...i'm a quilter, not a
seamstress..

happy holidays to all-

betsey

Hey Betsey!!!!! Welcome back. :) I can imagine the cost. My nieces ride
and show. It's spendy that's for sure.

You can do it. Don't be intimidated. You know you have us to fall back on
if you get stuck. And think of it as a wearable quilt if you need to. ;)

My youngest DGD, age 8, has been riding since she was 4YO. I did not
realize how expensive her show outfits were, until I was visiting last
summer, they are in SC and I'm in Houston as most of you know. We went
shopping for her a new helmet, a couple covers to match her pants and the
boots. I asked her Dad, if there were ever sales on the apparel and he said
he hadn't seen one yet. I would like to make some items, but DS, her Dad,
said "No"; we live too far apart to try that. I have made several school
and church outfits, but most were cotton, not knits.

Why not offer to have her come visit you, maybe in the summer
when school's out, and make her some outfits then? You would
have her right there for fittings, and she would probably love
it!

And a friend of yours in SC would probably be very glad to fly out with her
and stay a night or two. So there would be a meeting of friends, plus help
in getting things measured and cut out. Hint Hint
