Aren't those quilters great folks?!?

That's a great story and I can see our quilt shop doing the same thing. I have a sewing/embroidery business in my basement and am fortunate enough to have a nice serger and sewing machine. I am pear shaped as well and started ripping the elastic out of my jerseys the first year I started riding. Spandex is bad enough stretched over these hips without adding elastic to it too. My hubby thought I had lost my mind until we were on a charity ride and several women at a sag stop asked me where I found my jersey without elastic.
