Blondie said:Wonderful ! I think they look fab on you, not too high at all.
And when i first saw this pic i thought you were wearing some sort of Carmen Miranda hat , after i put my glasses on i realised it was a clock you were standing in front of.
Was this a difficult pattern to make ?
I haven't made the trousers, but I have found that the skirt needs to be quite snug in order to stay up and for the dip to lie right.Inky said:and thank you for thinking they look good on I am going to give them a wash and dry and try them on again to see if they need a bit of taking in.
Inky said:all of you have been making such lovely things - i wish i had the time!! but yes, finally, there was actual sewing last week and I made up the Simplicity 4044 pants in a mid-weight denim I had around the house
They turned out a bit too loose in the waist, and I think a teeny bit too high. Next time smaller in the waist and lowered down about half an inch or so. I think I am going to add suspenders to this pair.
A black pair will be coming as soon as I find the right fabric!
Cute, and nice sleeve! I'm learning how to crochet now, I love the ribbon you have going through it.velvetongue said:I made this crocheted hat recently and accented it with peacock feathers.
I love love love everything about this, and you are so cute with those flats and glasses!!Lauren said:

There's some more pics and such on my blog.
On another board, we do sew-alongs by choosing a specific start and finish date, posting pics of pattern and fabric on or before the start date, posting progress reports, then post pics of the finished garments on the finish date. The idea is that having a deadline and other people with you will help you achieve your goal. This sounds like a great thing for an apron because for me, at least, I hate spending sewing time on something I won't wear out of the house. Doing a sew-along will make apron sewing more fun by sharing with others.Lady Day said:What's that? I'd do it!
