I miss my old machine. We\\\'ve bought a new one but it doesn\\\'t have the same feel, (and now there\\\'s a problem with the bobbin.) I liked to make my own clothes because I liked having things that were completely unique and that perfectly suited my style. The greatest difficulty I have in shops is not fit (though it is a problem here in Italy,) but rarely having the feeling that the clothing I\\\'m looking at is \\ I used to sew much more in the past.

I still have a few pairs in my dresser, but have found myself that they no longer look good (except under slacks on a cold day!)on me. I much prefer the regular black stockings. They're sexy in a way the tights could never be...at least not on me! Thanks for the hints about the black tights.
