I just acquired a pink cotton batiste shirt (with pin tucks for shaping)from the free store that I feel great in - I want to copy it and make a couple more for summer. The thin cotton manages to drape just right so I don't look pregnant, even though it is one of those high waisted numbers.<br /><br />I love that Anthropologie top you're thinking of knocking off. Hope you post a picture when you're done.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188002198879523397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-14463187532071401862010-05-06T06:22:41.320-07:002010-05-06T06:22:41.320-07:00I just started sewing again after many years.... 3...I just started sewing again after many years.... 3 darling grandaughters will do that to you! At Christmas I mad them matching jumpers and realized that was the trick to improving my skills: make several of the same thing. The first was a little rough, the second was much improved and by the time I started the third I knew all the little tricks to make the pattern work beautifully. THEN I started learning all over again with the vest pattern for the only grandson ..... if I had 2 more, I'd have mastered that pattern too!<br /><br />Barbara M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-78031124037742962432010-05-05T21:02:28.200-07:002010-05-05T21:02:28.200-07:00Just wait!

Of course I'm old enough both to remember when bra straps weren't supposed to show and also to really need to wear one! <br /><br />Happy you commented, Evelyn!Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-59690320368397940172010-05-05T17:41:00.069-07:002010-05-05T17:41:00.069-07:00wow - you had a lot to say and I agree with you on...wow - you had a lot to say and I agree with you on well - everything!
