LOL.<BR/><BR/>Your dress is beautiful, the pants, amazing (how on earth do you manage to crank out such professional, great-fitting pants in so little time?).<BR/>Your kimono top looks lovely... Isn't it a great pattern? Now we have to meet and wear our kimono tops together :)<BR/><BR/>My jaw dropped as I was reading your entry... So much, with such quality.

I do have a question (which could really reveal my lack of sewing knowledge) - why did you use a petite version of the coat? Are you 'vertically challenged' like myself? I'm just under 5' and don't sew garments as much as I'd like as I'm unsure of how to adjust patterns properly, so I was just wondering if you alter patterns often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-45237121400910617522007-12-15T19:19:00.000-08:002007-12-15T19:19:00.000-08:00WOW, everything looks amazing!

The blouse is stunning! I love the color and it looks so well on you! The dress, wow, I might even "steal" your idea because I have a few 1.5 yard pieces of fabric that Jules sent me as a present and I think I could mix one or two of these fabrics and make this dress! (If I get the time, because I've been the true opposite of you: no time to sew for almost a week!!! I feel like an addict, hurting!). Your jeans look stunning and fit you like a glove! They don't get better than this! And the last top is the cherry on top of it all! Oh and you must have been the most elegant lady at the Conference!

Rachel, welcome to my blog!<BR/>Vicki, I rarely take anything to dry cleaners.
