It was more fabulous than the designer's dresses made from the fabric. She shared how someone tapped her on the shoulder at the horse races and said "excuse me, but someone has been scribbling on your dress". Clothes should bring joy to our world.Pamela Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763103403654797426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-87998371615206967282016-07-29T09:41:16.238-05:002016-07-29T09:41:16.238-05:00Interesting, cute, and looks great on you!Interesting, cute, and looks great on you!Sewingfunthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092262145485030184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-63360521936808725862016-07-27T06:30:04.736-05:002016-07-27T06:30:04.736-05:00Thank you Tomasa!Thank you Tomasa!Amanda S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040347020137293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-50570860573492368272016-07-21T10:42:30.582-05:002016-07-21T10:42:30.582-05:00It's been 45 years.

However, since we are a family of 6, it's just not feasible in our current house. I have an old desk in the corner of the master bedroom, with an ironing board beside it. The single drawer of that desk holds my threads. I have several small bins that hold my buttons and notions in the bathroom closet. My fabrics are in bins, piled on top of the DVR, and on top of the dresser. They are quite out of control right now and I really need to reorganize and get rid of a lot of it. (My husband is not a fan.) I would do a post about it if it was in any way glamorous but it's not. In 20 years when my kids are grown and mostly out of the house I will get a designated space for my hobby. Also hopefully more time to devote to it.

Also interested in the furniture that you have...like do you cut your fabric on the floor or table..do you have a smaller table in your sewing room? Right now I only have my ironing board to work on. Just an idea for a future post.<br /><br />I love you blog and check in regularly to see what you have sewn.<br />Thanks<br />JaniceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963870461948798002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-40877663070390054962016-07-19T11:24:32.447-05:002016-07-19T11:24:32.447-05:00I have been seeing this print in different color w...I have been seeing this print in different color ways on the Internet.
