I can't stand them, especially in dresses. Give me an invisible any day. Love 4014. I think it would look really lovely on you.Gorgeous Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105281854898289918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1155845344961916222006-08-17T16:09:00.000-04:002006-08-17T16:09:00.000-04:00I miss sewing shows too - especially sew perfect!I...I miss sewing shows too - especially sew perfect!<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see your Duro dress version!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1155842174562998602006-08-17T15:16:00.000-04:002006-08-17T15:16:00.000-04:00I have a great idea that will inspire you for thos...I have a great idea that will inspire you for those days when no inspiration comes to you. I keep a large floppy binder with clear page protectors (you can get them at a discount from Wal-Mart). I Keep clippings of any inspiring photos.<BR/><BR/>Hope it helps,<BR/><BR/>By the way your blog is an inspiration to meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1155839194733408242006-08-17T14:26:00.000-04:002006-08-17T14:26:00.000-04:00Oooooooh, I like that first pattern a lot.

I have seen it on just about every sewing blog I have visited so it seems like I must sew it too! Would look smashing in velour and warmer too, I think!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1155789281688584342006-08-17T00:34:00.000-04:002006-08-17T00:34:00.000-04:00I have a notebook, actually its an entire binder, ...I have a notebook, actually its an entire binder, trapper keeper style. I have <I>very</I> rough sketches, pictures I've ripped out of magazines, a list of must by patterns, etc. I like that version of the Duro, it doesn't have the "make you look pregnant" gathers in the front. Butterick has a pattern too, I may do that one in a matte jersey. Why don't you like side zippers? I love an invisible side seam zipper especially in dresses right underneath the arm and most definitely in skirts, that's the only place I'll put them... I'll change the placement from the pattern.Erica Bunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023668349294387098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1155786598032614402006-08-16T23:49:00.000-04:002006-08-16T23:49:00.000-04:00I have been seriously considering starting a noteb...I have been seriously considering starting a notebook lately. <BR/><BR/>I need a place for sketches and ideas maybe with swatches. Maybe a place to plan mini collections. I had a place to put inspiration photos which I loved for a long time but I haven't been putting the photos there lately so perhaps it is time for a change. <BR/><BR/>A design notebook. That just might be the ticket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
