Back to the pants - I ...Wow! They all look great.<br /><br />Back to the pants - I certainly understand not wanting yet another layer around the waist. Would it work to make a 2nd lining just for the crotch/thigh area that is just tacked in? That way it could be easily replaced if needed. Sort of like how I mend the DH's work jeans. Make a tracing of the crotch curve, lap seam 2 pieces together and lay it inside. Instead of sewing around the patch and holes, just tack it in at the crotch and thigh seams? The edges could just be serged to finish those off. Hmmmmm, maybe I should try this on his jeans *before* he wears them through????JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-12956200574829212572010-12-13T09:28:52.948-05:002010-12-13T09:28:52.948-05:00I think you are right about your best dress "...I think you are right about your best dress "The Macy Dress".

You have been so amazingly creative - every one has its own beguiling personality. If you make half as many dresses next year you will be doing very well. I wonder how you decide which one to wear each day! <br />Like you I think that my very favourite has to be the Macy's one - it is so stunning. But I also have a fondness for the silk racing stripe dress - because that's the one you were wearing when we met in the summer and it looked wonderful!Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584571701550775408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-51747756057409208292010-12-12T12:19:07.856-05:002010-12-12T12:19:07.856-05:00Fabulous Cayolyn.Fabulous Cayolyn.sdBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631048121680395678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-79052682774563445682010-12-12T11:44:00.114-05:002010-12-12T11:44:00.114-05:00You are so productive.
