I'm sure I could put those scraps of fabric to use, especially if they're of the hand dyed variety.Jean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-82854155004714294762013-06-16T21:12:56.522-07:002013-06-16T21:12:56.522-07:00Thanks so much for your kind words, Jean! I'm ...Thanks so much for your kind words, Jean! I'm thinking there isn't anybody out there who has no problems with their body - even when they are totally beautiful. Why is that? Anyway, you obviously are the one to whom I should be donating the inches that I have to cut off my sleeves and pant hems, right? ;) Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-56749636692044656492013-06-16T10:47:50.290-07:002013-06-16T10:47:50.290-07:00It's a good thing Joey doesn't follow my b...It's a good thing Joey doesn't follow my blog a lot or look at other blogs. If he saw this I'd be in BIG trouble!! I barely have enough time to sew for myself!! :-) This jacket is so, so cool, as is the cigar box instrument. Two fabulous works of art. I love it.<br /><br />I looked at the photos of your stormy weather dress and it's soooo lovely. The back is fabulous and the hand-finishing makes it a joy to wear, I'm sure. <br /><br />Also, I totally understand what you wrote about body types and sewing. Without going into too much detail, let's just say I'm a petite XL on top (no waist and super short torso) with no backside or real hips. Pants fall off (hence lots of skirts), and sleeves and pant legs are always inches too short. So what do I do? I sew and upcycle. It works, right?Jean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-46948896747139083812013-06-15T20:46:11.793-07:002013-06-15T20:46:11.793-07:00Thank you, my dears!

And I love how you used the wrong side of the fabric as a feature. Off to have a peek around your blog...JJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.com
