And the time is right because you can even learn new skills with less expensive fabrics. I've experimented with clashing prints but i took the chicken way. I put a clashing print on a Cindy Taylor blouse in the collar and sleeve band area. Also on the facing. it;s a fun garment to wear.Kubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883870804630058812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-74147339894802218202012-03-16T07:35:14.661-04:002012-03-16T07:35:14.661-04:00some wonderful ideas - I too love the lace and the...some wonderful ideas - I too love the lace and the wedges - I am a little behind the times, but want to make a colour block dress.pdiddlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231666147175522583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-88045447437392162862012-03-15T23:10:06.562-04:002012-03-15T23:10:06.562-04:00I'm wearing Tangerine Tango pants today - love...I'm wearing Tangerine Tango pants today - love the color!<br /><br />BTW - Fabric Mart has some GORGEOUS bright pontes and a good sale - just sayin'Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890008405738438915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1071304055420549812012-03-15T21:04:16.544-04:002012-03-15T21:04:16.544-04:00I love your list, it could be mine too.

I am wanting to make some florals this year too (well, my sister wanted a floral dress for summer, and when I was looking for her fabric I found some for me... so now we will both get summer floral dresses I suppose). And I have been thinking I need to get some wedge shoes... how odd that you post that now! And I have been toying with lace (though for skating costumes and not normal day clothes, but still), so perhaps I am more on trend than I realized? While I am all for bright colors, in general they don't look so great on me (sometimes I can get by with the blues and purples), so that is one trend I will probably let pass me by... though you look fabulous in the bright dresses here. Very excited to see your spring sewing - either before or after your McQueen dress. And, well, if you don't make the McQueen now, it can always be your first fall/winter garment when the time comes around again.T.
