I ordered some because in the post you mentioned we'd be missing out if we let the sale go by. So yes, it's your fault, hahahaha<br />But your 6pac choices are nice. I look forward to seeing it.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001093471952326277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-31477572520369081102011-08-07T11:55:47.797-04:002011-08-07T11:55:47.797-04:00Got to love the mailman, UPS and Fed Ex guys/gals ...Got to love the mailman, UPS and Fed Ex guys/gals who deliver such great stuff!Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-62359864355789154642011-08-07T08:49:27.614-04:002011-08-07T08:49:27.614-04:00Congratulations!

If not, it seems horribly boundary-crossing to ask you to do alternations/sew buttons - isn't that what the dry cleaner is for?

Boy did I score - did two orders so far - and bought the same fabrics you did. They're terrific - and get beautifully soft and drapey after preshrinking. I'm working on my third order. Love your blog and thanks so much for the tip.<br /><br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923819162280887272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-62403179628193610562011-08-06T10:08:37.758-04:002011-08-06T10:08:37.758-04:00If that's a dress your boss wears, then not ev...If that's a dress your boss wears, then not everyone in your office is wearing black, ultra-conservative clothes. ;-) <br /><br />Have fun with your great mail haul!Debbie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601675304884019607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-40219734257124514272011-08-06T09:11:48.391-04:002011-08-06T09:11:48.391-04:00Yes, you had a very good day at the mailbox!

But then I turned around and offered to sew something for another co-worker.

I just received the same two fabrics. I echo Shams -- it's your "fault."

No to major alterations. You were very nice to sew on the buttons!<br /><br />I dare not subscribe to Vogue by Mail. Seriously, too dangerous.
