You're obviously gaining both experience and skill, creating useful, beautiful, fun wearables and I hope having fun in the process.sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358189683016220420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-57849714894567533282012-08-06T09:45:37.988-05:002012-08-06T09:45:37.988-05:00Thank you ALL for the kind comments!

I want to say "It's EASY" forgetting about all the swearing I was doing when things didn't work out right. Haha. <br /><br />But really, I appreciate all the comments and all the compliments.

I like all of them, especially the brown dress and your idea to cover the flaw!!<br />I like trying sewing sometimes, but I'm not really good, and become stressed with it! Your sewing made me feeling the will to train and train it again!!<br />Bye!<br />LauAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-79304392566843142192012-08-05T04:34:29.281-05:002012-08-05T04:34:29.281-05:00I am in awe :0

I end up sticking to simple tank tops and use a store bought one for the pattern. You've done a terrific job here Anne! You make a pretty model as well. I have to say all of these look great on your figure. My favorite is the orange and aqua print with the bow in back. It has such a beautiful neck line, it looks like you bought it from a high end store. You almost got the pattern to line up :) Great job!!Jaime Haneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13839361431109715942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-66361230415611520852012-08-01T21:36:36.767-05:002012-08-01T21:36:36.767-05:00Dagg!

Before long won't need to ever think about shopping for clothes (although shopping for clothes is so much fun). I love every single piece. Very much indeed. I don't understand patterns much myself. I usually just start looking at them then get unnerved and start cutting away with only a general idea whether I am doing it right or not. So the seam ripper, yeh, i love its abilities too! I am so happy to see all your projects and how they have come out. And the tops and dress look so beautiful on you.
