With that being said, I am learning that I like more complex items. I feel the same way about sewing dressy items. Anytime I try something simple it turns out homemade looking or don't wear it. I am just learning the underlining, bias tape over seam thing...it does make a difference when the insides look like the outside! thanks for teaching me this trick!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-81722330117320874732008-10-14T20:02:00.000-05:002008-10-14T20:02:00.000-05:00Great outfit like all the rest.

That's why I try to stay away from trendy looks in dressy clothing. I tried really hard to make casual clothing this past summer, and had a very difficult time. If it's got a lining and a little difficulty, it usually turns out better for me then something simple. Plus I just love getting dressed up. But on a typical day I like to wear fitted tops and denum bottoms. I have two pairs of jean shorts that hit right below my knee that I wore the heck out of this past summer. During colder months I can usually be spotted in jeans or casual pants. I'm not a fan of printed T-shirts, sweats, elastic waists, or all-day pj's. My thinking is if you feel good about how you look you take better care of yourself. I do want to make some knit dresses for next spring/summer. They are so cute and really very cool, a must have for Texas.Amanda S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040347020137293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-69175334512302465852008-10-14T08:07:00.000-05:002008-10-14T08:07:00.000-05:00You look STUNNING in that beautiful outfit!

You're really a busy bee lately, churning out one project after the other.<BR/>The blue jacket is lovely, as is the skirt and the Vogue 1020 dress - really like the anmimal print. Have to admit though, that I have a slight weakness for it myself :-)KayBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328853868044700743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-76277554903552107282008-10-13T23:58:00.000-05:002008-10-13T23:58:00.000-05:00your skill and attention to detail never cease to ...your skill and attention to detail never cease to amaze me!!! beautiful.<BR/><BR/>question - what in the world do you wear on the average day? :) you are making so many beautiful things and i wonder just how far behind i am as a 'fellow' at home mom? i have to admit i have shlumped it for FAR too long but have come a LONG way in the last year. still, where do you wear all of the beautiful outfits you are making? :)<BR/><BR/>hjheidi johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158284167747831121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-19743006746363307762008-10-13T23:20:00.000-05:002008-10-13T23:20:00.000-05:00Beautiful outfit!
