I did some retail therapy late last night. =)Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384050927297629715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-74338977830402458512015-05-01T10:31:51.282+01:002015-05-01T10:31:51.282+01:00I have SO MANY dress patterns, it's kind of lu...I have SO MANY dress patterns, it's kind of ludicrous when I've made like, three dresses so far. I definitely think some muslining and trying things out is called for. Like you, the big problem for me in RTW has been getting things that fit, so really anything I produce that fits even a little better is likely to be a win for me.westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-12610059936080421282015-05-01T01:31:01.679+01:002015-05-01T01:31:01.679+01:00I'm not a huge dress wearer, but I've foun...I'm not a huge dress wearer, but I've found that I wear my me-made dresses far more than I ever used to wear RTW dresses. Why? Because I can actually sew a dress that fits me, so I just feel more comfortable in them. If you've got a ton of dress patterns, give one a try and muslin it--you might be surprised.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-21514282048645436362015-04-30T21:56:19.670+01:002015-04-30T21:56:19.670+01:00Ooooo.

That shirt sounds amazing -- look forward to seeing how that comes out!<br /><br />I kind of over-dosed on making bags at one point but I feel really into it again. They are fun to make, so long as you don't think too hard about having to do all the interfacing. :Dwestmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-76518853709399632252015-04-30T21:48:55.826+01:002015-04-30T21:48:55.826+01:00"since tomorrow is the start of May, I can no..."since tomorrow is the start of May, I can now feign amnesia about previous plans and move on blithely to some summer sewing."<br /><br />HAHAHAHAHAHA!<br /><br />I love your plans!! I got a floral cotton for a lightweight jacket but it's too light. I felt very brilliant when I decided it should become a floral sleeveless shirt with chambray contrasts in the collar stand and under collar. Swoon. <br /><br />That bag is fantastic!! So jealous of your ace bag making skills!SewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.com
