  5. Oh they're so lovely. I am in love with the Coldwater Creek dress, the midrif band would be great for control! As always, I really look forward to seeing your creations. I have embarked on the TNT path, and am in the midst of creating basic blocks! Thank you Carolyn!

  12. Love the Piperlime and black & white dresses. I might need that Vogue pattern with the jacket, skirt and dress for lawyer daughter. A fuller wardrobe can't hurt a young professional, right, and at the same time satisfy my urge to sew?

    We can all wish for sewing caves like the HGTV one, but nothing ever looks the same IRL as on TV, does it?

    Happy Sewing Cave Weekend! Hope your inspiration breaks up your mental logjam.

  15. Oh, I just adore those first white lace dresses; so pretty! and the mustard dress with the square neckline, and the yellow suit too.
    Thank for your gorgeous comments; and yes, I did think those pockets looked like V1247, but didn't see the pattern number cited on your post anywhere. They are a fabulous feature on your dress!

  16. Y'know, I was inspired by a black lace dress in a window that I drove past this morning and I thought, "I need a dress like that". I've a wedding to go to this summer and this LBD in lace really caught my eye. It was above the knee, plain 60's style dress with 3/4 flared sleeves. I like your inspiration posts.... I'm still looking for the perfect tweed to make up that green tweed outfit you posted about months ago..... I confess I stole the picture for my inspiration board!

  17. Such great plans! I may have to downright copy some of them! I was browsing the Vogue pattern magazine last night and that bright yellow jacket really caught my eye..love the sleeve detail.

  18. These are wonderful inspiration photos. I also want to thank you for your comments about lists, struggling with time/energy to sew, etc. I was on a major guilt trip about all of the above, but now I don't feel so bad after all! Before I forget....thanks for your TNT ideas and tips. I've finally found a great candidate for my TNT dress and your ideas are super helpful.

  19. Oh Wee - I'm inspired. white/cream dress, color blocking, Vogue 8799, Magnolias and coral ponte knit may all be in my future.

    Happy sewing/designing!
