I made the sleeves 3/4 and can wear my"muslin" as a swimsuit coverup.

Even if you only posted once a week, it may be finished before the season ended :) I love the runching blue one you just finished and would love to 'watch' you at work. That way, many of us could learn your techniques. I would be happy to even pay for the privilege if it was reasonable. Can't afford a lot just now :)<br /><br />Thanks...Ruthrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953039481905789957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-3380739573260141752012-08-05T18:24:08.581-05:002012-08-05T18:24:08.581-05:00What I saw the Rebeca Taylor dress last week, I im...What I saw the Rebeca Taylor dress last week, I immediately thought of you!<br />There are some really nice choices for fall.Lynnebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574595306598710412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-66337090557764283672012-08-04T06:17:40.246-05:002012-08-04T06:17:40.246-05:00Thanks for reminding me to take a look Amanda!

I found it when I was searching for reviews of it. I bought the pattern and fabric last year but haven't made it. The question I have for you is about my fabric. The fabric I bought is a solid and I'm wondering if you think it's a bad idea and I should maybe go for a solid instead? I thought you might have an opinion since you've made it already. Anyway, any advice is welcome! jemgirlca@gmail.comJeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404013473555652954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-5308527831225854532012-08-01T10:26:41.570-05:002012-08-01T10:26:41.570-05:00Those top 2 could be really cute with the right fa...Those top 2 could be really cute with the right fabric and would be really easy to wear. And they look simple enough that maybe even i could tackle those 2 patterns! Can't wait to see you make the 1316 colorblocked dress. Leather for some of the pieces would be cool, and I'm sure you could perfect the fit of the top.soisewedthishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132339220603233156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-40007624134637143882012-07-30T01:22:20.039-05:002012-07-30T01:22:20.039-05:00Me gusta mucho tu seleccion de vestidos.Me quedo c...Me gusta mucho tu seleccion de vestidos.Me quedo con Vogue 8825 y 8829, me chiflan.

It makes you wonder about the provenance of fabrics, doesn't it? I agree with your comments about fitting. And the choice of a shiny fabric for V8829 (or, well anything). That V1314 is going to look so great on you! And I really think you would be OK with that Rucci V1317 - you have the figure for it and the bow would look fine, really!a little sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086285440873869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-51928534870670745542012-07-28T04:03:23.279-05:002012-07-28T04:03:23.279-05:00I have the same selection as you do EXCEPT for the...I have the same selection as you do EXCEPT for the RT knit dress because I don't like blouson+gathered waist.<br /><br />But I am planning on making that same view of the Easy Options dress.
