It is good to know you use your super powers for good and not evil. ;) I had a plan once for a gored skirt with multiple panels, divided by piping in a kind of wavy design to the gores. It was a knockoff of something I saw a woman wearing in a store. After thinking about it for months I realized I didn't want to work that hard on something I would only wear rarely. Your dress inspires me to quit being so lazy. Even if I don't get it sewed the drafting would be fun.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189748246152454950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-89561090501605897092013-01-03T19:57:56.668-05:002013-01-03T19:57:56.668-05:00As usual, this looks like a winner, I cannot wait ...As usual, this looks like a winner, I cannot wait to see it on you!<br /><br />I ran thru the last few posts and didn't see a reference to the faux leather...is it a stretch faux leather, how can you press it and not melt it? any recommended places to purchase it?<br /><br />I "hate "how you can pull off all of these designer looks! I think I need to move to the Metro area!<br /><br />I think this would also look good in a spring color and sleeveless.<br /><br />Thanks for keeping my creative juices flowing! andibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209609669553104025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-90225573766428059412013-01-03T15:40:56.377-05:002013-01-03T15:40:56.377-05:00Woo hoo!

I wonder if a mini-version of your TNT dress pattern on A4 / Letter paper showing the road-map of the jigsaw pattern pieces would serve as a) a handy reminder of what goes where, and b) a useful easy to access n view at a glance version to file away on top of the full-size pieces when you store them? (P.S. I guess a mini version of your TNT pattern F + B could also be used a little like a Croqui when planning new iterations of your favourite pattern too :) ?)Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-44622674328428848582013-01-03T13:33:47.512-05:002013-01-03T13:33:47.512-05:00At the risk of sounding like one or two others...I...At the risk of sounding like one or two others...I can't wait for the reveal.

I worked from home for many years as I raised my son, then got laid off and have an interview next week for a "corporate job" and started panicking because I have absolutely no work clothes left. The last time I worked full time in an office was about 9 years and 50 pounds ago;-) Then I found your blog and suddenly all was right with the world again. The panic ended as I realized that, like you, I <i>could</i> have well-fitting clothes that looked great in beautiful fabric and that I didn't have to go to work in Walmart clothes and be ashamed! <br /><br />Thank you so much!njs7227https://www.blogger.com/profile/12389448350747549801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-79002144815319045622013-01-03T12:36:42.617-05:002013-01-03T12:36:42.617-05:00!I LOVE this dress and have been wanting to do a l...!I LOVE this dress and have been wanting to do a leather mix material project.
