So to me it's all part of the garments story. I'm glad that the information I share helps you. I know I like seeing it on other sewists blogs. It helps me to continue to learn too!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-13076800419071356782018-10-15T09:07:34.697-04:002018-10-15T09:07:34.697-04:00I second what Gemma said!

It's one thing to know everyone has to change something, but another when you can actually see what a more experienced sewist does in practice! Thank you for taking the time to share. 😊CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374533960830775633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-54767358418632232662018-10-14T18:28:51.292-04:002018-10-14T18:28:51.292-04:00Your new blouse is so pretty !

I'd copied a dress I saw in a POETRY catalogue which clocked in at 189.00 us dollars. Mine was from stashed fabric and my favorite wear of the whole summer. There is potential in "that there pattern!"Bette Nordberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811677341441217291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-17351888327304811932018-10-10T11:48:46.170-04:002018-10-10T11:48:46.170-04:00Love the top.

You have an eye for your adjustments, and the results are perfect. I do enjoy reading your blog because to me its a learning experience. I am 71 yrs. old and been sewing since age 10, and I thought I knew all the tricks, but with you I learn something every time I read it.Gemma P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13410147273055953335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-21213449183671112182018-10-10T07:41:09.131-04:002018-10-10T07:41:09.131-04:00This is such a pretty top.

I have an Anne Klein suit pattern from (I believe) the late 70's featuring a similar blouse with the neckline of your View C. It has a much baggier fit, but the neckline is definitely the same. It's great to see the older patterns getting some use these days.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960310379822122045noreply@blogger.com
