Like you said - change the fabric, change the accessories and you have completely different looks, but all ones that fit well and that you love. :)<br /><br />McCalls 3830 is becoming that for me. This weekend I'm hoping to knock out another 1 or 2.

Do you use this book? Would you recommend it or have any thoughts about it you'd care to share?<br /><br />Also, with the bemberg lining are garments dry clean only?Anna R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03900196845196932912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-60786557343426072662010-05-24T10:44:19.074-04:002010-05-24T10:44:19.074-04:00I've been following your blog like forever.

Ivory sandwashed silk will be so lovely for the summer and will co-ordinate wonderfully well with just about any colour you choose (and that jacket is going to be gorgeous with it).

I have perfected my TNT sheath but the only variations I've done so far are neckline shape changes. You inspire me to use it in other ways!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-55604090503898982792010-05-24T00:03:37.351-04:002010-05-24T00:03:37.351-04:00As the saying goes if its not broke......
