I used to make all my clothes but confess I haven't sewn for about 15 years - during which time my shape has definitely progressed "outwards".<br /><br />Thank you for you wonderful, inspiring blog that I discovered through dear Gaylen,<br /><br />Michelle, downunder in Wellington, New Zealand (and my rescued Zebby Cat, of course), sending care and loud puRRRRRumbles from usMickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-4701140725149452202011-09-13T20:51:00.788-04:002011-09-13T20:51:00.788-04:00I need to make an adjustment to the shoulder seams...<i>I need to make an adjustment to the shoulder seams. They are about an inch too long so that the sleeve cap is hanging down on my shoulder</i><br /><br />I have that problem all the time! I've ignored it for a while, but I think it's time to face the truth. :)<br /><br />It's looking good from the front, although it's a shame about the back. Still, the colour is pretty on you, and looks GREAT with those shoes!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-51986644660519544422011-09-13T17:43:53.517-04:002011-09-13T17:43:53.517-04:00I love a quickie!

The back does need some work but it also emphasizes that you do have a really cute shape. I've noticed that on the back of several of your garments. You got curves and that a GOOD thing!knitmachinequeen (KMQ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06905640436931172793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-6489775549059204072011-09-13T07:49:42.644-04:002011-09-13T07:49:42.644-04:00I love the dress -- it looks like it would have a ...I love the dress -- it looks like it would have a nice swing to it, and is cute with or without a cardigan. I can see how the shoulder and back adjustments would improve it, but no reason not to enjoy it exactly as it is.
