THAT makes it a fave!<br /><br />hee hee Terri, now you KNOW i want to see that one! i have me 'sleepers' too - aaahhhh.....<br /><br />Hello Sheila! i had a hunch you have the same feeling towards certain pieces. Really, it's none of my business how anyone else feels about their clothing, and i'm not judging at all. But like you, i just get such a kick out of those special ones that it seems a shame for other 'clothes girls' to not have a similar experience. (and yes, i realize i'm projecting!)<br /><br />Hello Bev - well, you really went above and beyond on that one! & it's a lot of those 'behind the scenes' generosities that make this style community so wonderful. & i'm in awe back : )<br /><br />aw, ma, you are very sweet. (& the dogs request more cheezy weenies, please.)<br /><br />Hello ilegirl! that sounds REALLY nice on you! and a great description, btw.<br /><br />Hi Veshoevius! thank you! it was tricky, but i have to say that Vogue Patterns does a really good job with the directions, markings, etc. with plenty of basting it wasn't tremendously difficult. and YES on the relationship to Ms. Westwood - their first impressions are so different, but the structure underneath has real similarities.<br /><br />Welcome Franca! thank you! i don't know what the magazine situation is over in the UK, but here there's some helpful magazines on beginning sewing these days. Threads has one that looks pretty good:<br /><br />http://www.craftstylish.com/sewstylish<br />http://www.threadsmagazine.com/<br /><br />of course, if you find a good teacher it's gold. good luck!<br /><br />take care everybody! stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-53529261275836261202011-01-26T05:22:39.750-08:002011-01-26T05:22:39.750-08:00It's gorgeous, great job!

I would never have guessed it was sewn at home it looks so professionally done.

My head exploded. Then she cut it out, etc. When she put it all together, I realized a lot more about my daughter. Then I went to Paris, and saw Issy Miyake's showroom every day, took pictures through the window, and and and - .

It adds even more interest to an already interesting coat! As for a favorite clothing item...it's an old ratty grey golfing sweater I snagged out of hubby's pile to take to the thrifts. I tend to wear it all day every day and have been known to sleep in it, but it is certainly NOT blog worthy! And, it is not something i'd run back in to a burning house to retrieve!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-86790645499302080892011-01-25T13:04:52.100-08:002011-01-25T13:04:52.100-08:00The peplum on that coat is perfect - the shape, ba...The peplum on that coat is perfect - the shape, balance of lines are so flattering on you, no wonder it's one of your faves, it is fabulous!
