At age 56, I had lost interest in trying to fit my now plump frame. But you have shown that style is not a size, but an attitude. So thank you for helping me to find my attitude again!

This is going to look fab (as always), but I wholeheartedly agree with you that making a blouse is sort of pointless if you aren't a blouse wearer. I'm having to have some of these serious heart-to-hearts with myself about being realistic with my style in what I make, especially when you we're talking about something that is more or less a wardrobe staple (like a blouse). I can't wait to see your dress!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-6358719276555973962014-06-06T14:55:25.137-04:002014-06-06T14:55:25.137-04:00I also like to see you doing more complex garments...I also like to see you doing more complex garments. Like we discussed.. having a TNT that you can just change details on is so nice, but sometimes it is interesting and mentally challenging/refreshing to do something new. I'm at work, and on this monitor the colors look like browns and taupes (still nice) but I like black/grey better. Looking forward to seeing it! Take your time and enjoy the process. :) KACorgiHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570407072060958620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-85614619802691362472014-06-06T12:55:14.988-04:002014-06-06T12:55:14.988-04:00This look great.

I think you have a winner with those fabrics blocked like that. That fabric just needed some complimentary pals with it. I will sew and wear a shell, a tank, a long sleeved shirt that functions as a light jacket, but just a blouse? Not anymore. A dress just puts itself on and doesn't need to find a skirt that goes with it. <br /><br />If you went back and told 20 yr old me I'd be a dress gal at 55, I would probably choke to death laughing.<br /><br />SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.com
