I'll be there next spring. 😱 The first online communities I was part of were bellydance related, and they were just as lovely as the sewing ones for the most part---it has definitely given me a rosie view of social media. ;) having two teenage girls growing up in the world of selfies is interesting, but I have to say hasn't been as terrible as a lot of people make it out to be. My kids go through the same struggle of balancing body image & self love against impossible beauty standards that we did, but I can't say so far that I think it's any worse. Mind you I promise neither of them are reading diet blogs. >_<Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-76024133158853524492016-09-17T07:15:17.740+02:002016-09-17T07:15:17.740+02:00Well we love you too!!

I enjoy your posts and look forward to seeing your project photos. They are an inspiration to me.<br /><br />As far as the Clean Eating community goes, as with many things, there are good and bad aspects. Years ago I did the clean eating thing, and it really was beneficial to my health and food choices. Overall my experience was a positive one and many of the people on the board I frequented were very supportive. That being said, there were also a number of women who had translated CE into obsessive levels; the majority of which were recovering from some kind of eating disorder. While CE was helping to ensure they were getting the proper amount of nutrients, for those women, I got the impression that it was a transference of behavior patterns. I'll have to check out that documentary!Grumpy Without Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896914631226102502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-71095560877251061092016-09-16T12:25:21.391+02:002016-09-16T12:25:21.391+02:00You are totally right!

And I so agree that my corner of the select online world is generally so supportive and encouraging. What a shame that others can't use their energy in creative, constructive ways.Jane Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236298438179825569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-79230635849109288192016-09-15T10:57:25.700+02:002016-09-15T10:57:25.700+02:00Great post.

I am concerned about my 11 year old daughter becoming obsessed with comparing herself to others or feeling pressured into looking a certain way. I have overheard her friend commenting that other kids should be sucking their stomachs in when posting photos of themselves online. It depresses me. Anyway I enjoy your blog.Sew_what73https://www.blogger.com/profile/14878090197952230844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-15031250767801303992016-09-15T10:46:09.280+02:002016-09-15T10:46:09.280+02:00I didnt see that documentary you talk of, and prob...I didnt see that documentary you talk of, and probably just as well as I would be talking back to the tv - I work part time in a sports store and am constantly amazed by the food fads that my younger colleagues buy into, but then again, I have to remind myself that in your 20s you are trying to define your way of living - what bothers me mainly is the amount of protein powders - and any of the semi pro athletes I work with dont take them at all. I am now so glad I got 'back' into sewing as I think when you sew for yourself, you sew for your own body shape and figure it from there.eimearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953042771647853865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-37463086887355902552016-09-15T08:46:15.384+02:002016-09-15T08:46:15.384+02:00I find your blog interesting and full of informati...I find your blog interesting and full of information. Thank you to keep posting. I agree, people's view of body image is disturbing and all the 'info' flying around the web can be misleading. <br />I'm very happy that I sew and knit for myself. I wear clothes that I like and actually am a little smug that my wardrobe looks different to everyone else.<br />Please keep coming with your inspiration :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302594830175636897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-48625884241996627212016-09-15T07:24:31.273+02:002016-09-15T07:24:31.273+02:00I started reading you blog years ago when I was re...I started reading you blog years ago when I was really interested in sewing vintage. Now I am more interested in sewing to clothe myself everyday but I have kept reading your blog more than the other vintage sewing blogs. I like that deep down your a sewing nerd and that it's about working out puzzles to make beautiful things.

And your insghtful posts, like this one, are also very interesting. I have to agree with you, I used to follow some sewing/fashion/lifestyle bloggers who began to espouse questionable diets and eating regimens. I just stopped following, but I still have concern for all the people who might be more susceptible to such fallacies. Especially younger women--at one time, that definitely could have been me!K.
