I love the red piping (?) its very cool. How did you do that? I also love your jeans. When you say in-seam pockets, do you know of a tutorial anywhere that shows how to do that? Those jeans and the embellishment really are awesome!<BR/><BR/>Also, did you make the black top with lace trim? It looks really nice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-85403551692359623822008-02-14T12:12:00.000-08:002008-02-14T12:12:00.000-08:00Laura,You are a genius!

You can't imagine how much this kind of feedback motivates me for sewing more and better!<BR/>Nina, the black/green shirt is not made by me, but reconstructed. Took a simple black top, long-sleeved and too short. Cut and re-hemmed the sleeves, cut a square neckline, added the green lace (which is stretch) and the green applique - store-bought. <BR/>Miriam, welcome to my blog! Are you HawkeMorningstar?<BR/>Rose, the back of the top (I'll try and take a picture) is a the white/black knit all-over. <BR/>Linda, I found all this information by googling for "hemstitching" :) Lucky me, I guess. <BR/>Susan, I will measure how much my knit stretches, what I can tell you is that it's very stretchy, about 75% stretch.LauraLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09450981301329994368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-51473749583737992662008-02-12T16:12:00.000-08:002008-02-12T16:12:00.000-08:00Laura, another group of winners.

I like the red binding--it makes the lines of the top really 'pop'! I'm curious-what does the back of the top look like?
