Don't even be...Carolyn I love this blue dress! Don't even begin to downgrade it just because you used a TNT pattern. Despite the hot temps here in Houston I've been on real productive sewing jazz having completed 11 garments (including 3 lined jackets) during the last couple of weeks. I believe it's a new record for me! Anyway most of the patterns used are TNTs and I realize how valueable they are along with my healthy stash. It's not just the fashion fabric but all the notions I've accumulated over the years. I know you can understand my appreciation for not having to run to some chain fabric store to search for a decent lining fabric, interfacing, and buttons to complete a prized garment. Can I hear an Amen for the stash?

After seeing the dress you saw at the Met, I can understand why you would like to add sequins, but also understand why you cannot, at least for a work setting. How about devoting one cardigan to this dress and adding at least one motif from the fabric to the sweater, after sewing a modest amount of sequins onto the motif? Or, you could add some subtle beading to the dress, maybe around the neckline to act as a necklace. I like the sweater idea best because even with a motif from this fabric, you could wear it with a solid blue dress, or a nice white linen for the summer. I always admire what you make but I truly love this one. You look fabulous in this color. PS: I have a lot of time on my hands before my shoulder replacement and I would be glad to sew some sequins on a motif for you.

I want one too. ;-) Today's mini tour of your summer sewing has been great. These days I'm haven't been sewing as much as I would like; nor have I blogged much either. But that will soon change with the fall season. <br /><br />I will be back for more inspiration.
