They said they don't stretch quite as much so I sized up. <br /><br />Echoing that your hair looks amazing.Vildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729809197382483220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-19395244252132223602011-12-15T08:53:39.500-08:002011-12-15T08:53:39.500-08:00heehee Vildy you do know that Amelia Aerhardt is o...heehee Vildy you do know that Amelia Aerhardt is one of my style icons!! so your comment is that much more fun to read :)<br /><br />the reason the topstitching looks so nice is because i used a double needle:<br />http://tinyurl.com/35j24ad<br /><br />at the top righthand corner of the detail photo you can see a skipped stitch, because i used the double needle i had on hand instead of a denim double needle.<br /><br />Thank you for the info on the fleecy inside tights! Now i'm leaning towards giving them a try.....<br /><br />Hi Debbi!! well, as i said it's all in the double needle. They can be expensive, but the difference they make is worth it. (also, buy on sale!) You are very kind :) What type of pants are you interested in hemming? Taking account of the type of material is the main variable in turning out a great result.<br /><br />GHi Patti! you're a sweetheart and much too kind :) and this jacket is getting softer with time, there is no way i'm letting go of this baby!<br /><br />& ty for noticing the hair! as you well know, humidity helps bring out the curl. and after about a year of cutting my own, i seem to have gotten the hang of it with this last cut - if i say so meself ;)<br /><br />Happy Day Everybody! stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-53824748738722530912011-12-15T07:00:56.204-08:002011-12-15T07:00:56.204-08:00Wow, your sewing skills are insane! Love your jean...Wow, your sewing skills are insane! Love your jeans in all their incarnations, and your leather jacket is probably getting better and better as time goes by. I am a know-nothing about alterations, but I am guessing you will find a fix for cinching in the sides. BTW, awesome hair too : >Patti @ NotDeadYet Stylehttp://notdeadyetstyle.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-34181823006925401982011-12-14T18:29:02.867-08:002011-12-14T18:29:02.867-08:00Perfect top stitching!

I would love some tips on how to take up the legs on the pants.<br />Could you put elastic in the waist of the jacket? <br />With your skills, I would imagine you could fix it somehow.Debbi@SheAccessorizesWellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888489368256761571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-45551146118999512202011-12-14T12:59:16.482-08:002011-12-14T12:59:16.482-08:00oh lord, the "too big" cinched back jack...oh lord, the "too big" cinched back jacket, when flying open is The Complete Amelia Earhart. I'm drooling with envy. Kudos for your topstitching perfection, too. <br /><br />This year I'm trying the fuzzy inside tights. So far I like the fit of them much better than regular tights. More like leggings. I think that's because they're polyester and not nylon. <br />Are they actually warmer? We've had mild weather here so far, so can't tell.Vildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729809197382483220noreply@blogger.com
