    Absolutely VITAL assistance and advice for kiltmakers, everywhere...

    This was included in a 1949 packet that went out with Singer sewing machines.

    Wow! So that's what I'm doing wrong.

    I'm afraid I don't own any dresses right now, let alone clean ones. I wonder if it's acceptable that I borrow one from my wife.

    Powder I can probably handle, but I've not been able to determine what shade of lipstick would look right with my skin tone, so that could be a problem.

    Oh dear! I may have to forgo kilt kamp unless I get these matters resolved.

    Who would have time to sew after doing all that?!?

    I'm reminded of a signature line over at Ravelry, something along the lines of "my end table is full of knitting so that I don't have to dust it!" Much more my approach!

    Oh dear, perhaps that's my problem when I sit down at the sewing machine - I don't have my hair in order or my powder and lipstick on. *sigh*

    Just schedule a color analysis at your local Clinique counter.

    I have seen the error of my ways and will endeavor to wear proper sewing attire in the future. I'll also be sure to wear a three-piece suit, or at least a decent kilt and jacket, the next time I fire up the drill press.

    lol! Along those lines my favorite Aunt has a plaque by her door that reads "If you came to see me, come on in! If you came to see my house, make an appointment."

    We visit her often as she is awesome and usually has good booze.
