ah well, it was a good thought. At least we tried. Fitting party was a bust: 2 friends showed up for a brief amount of time, and one person who bought 2 suits.  gonna try again at a gym in Columbia next weekend - at least it's in conjunction with a posing clinic (if you're going to compete, you need to practice the poses and make sure you're doing

How disappointing! When i was doing Tupperware parties, back in the day, they used to tell us about 50% of invitees showed up--so I would have expected 10 to 12, from what your organizers said. Were they watching the olympics instead? ;-P on them, lol!

You got at least two good things out of it--I'd judge you won the sewlympic endurance race and productivity categories hands-down...well, in comparison with me, since I've been imitating Bodie in Turin, and partying too much!

And second, you have stock, and can "rest on your laurels" as it were--and sew something for yourself with a clear conscience!

knowing people and their habits, I had immediately discounted the 70+ who had marked 'maybe'. But I had hoped that maybe half would have come. I think Chris was also disappointed: he gave a party and no one came! sorta. One of them called in- he was buying a condo! I think next week will be better.

No, I can't really rest on my 'laurels'. I should see about finishing those two suits that never got finished, but mostly I need to start work on the women's suits that I fitted last week! They both need them for April 10, and I want to do mockup fittings. I was thinking of going back to the blouse - until I remembered Holli & Tavian! maybe I can bring corset stuff to Sewing and at least cut things there.

That sucks! =o( At least you have a good start on Columbia which SHOULD be much better if you are doing it in conjunction with a posing clinic. =o( But still! You worked your butt off and it went "FLOP!" =o(
