"I could sew all day everyday". That's a quote from my very first post I think. But I feel guilty if I'm not keeping a meticulous house or keeping in touch with friends etc.And after all, how many clothes does a retired 61 year old need anyway?I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am organized about my sewing but my feelings of guilt about enjoing sewing more than anything (and I mean anything) get in the way.<BR/>Love that yellow fabric!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500041147303339117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-60867841542883837392009-02-07T10:07:00.000-05:002009-02-07T10:07:00.000-05:00Oh you are so busy!

I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that one this year; wow, yellow just makes me look sooo green. I love that Michelle Obama fashion site also - but they have very good material to work with (*g). And here is my two cents on the Mr. and Mrs. O relationship: I think Barak Obama wakes up every morning with the knowledge that he's the luckiest man on earth because he got Michelle Robinson to marry him. And that's the way it should be for us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-65192256878291750092009-02-07T03:05:00.000-05:002009-02-07T03:05:00.000-05:00I am halfway through a basic dress which looks lik...I am halfway through a basic dress which looks like it might be a TNT for me and I instantly thought of you!

And can I tell you that I love your reversable dress! And the fact that you used the same print on each side (different color of course). Very cool! I do have a question though! I made a reversable dress b/4 Christmas for my mom and for the life of me... I couldn't get the hems to come out very nice at all! My dress had a bodice with a higher waist on it and well the pattern wasn't really meant to be a reversable. But all was well, except for the hems!!!!! I of course didn't have her here to try it on her... what can I say those are all the excuses I can think of right at the moment! Help! I could use a pointer or two on that. I did use Charmeuse, so maybe that was part of the problem? Help!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.com
