Give those gorgeous girls of yours a hug from me!<br /><br />aw, Adrienne, you are so kind! and your spring hats are just a knockout - dramatic and very wearable. re: sewing, take a closer look at Katehrine's designs. The tee top i showed in my last post (heehee, if anyone can remember back that far) is so flattering on us 'full figured gals', and the pieceing is perfect for mixing different fabrics and trims. This shirt jacket also works well for us - just choose a fabric with some drape, or follow sister Marcy's tutorial on pleating linen:<br /><br />http://www.marcytilton.com/index.php?cid=760<br /><br />Katherine's newest design B5925 is also great for IT figures (that's 'Interverted Triangles, mom). <br /><br />http://butterick.mccall.com/b5925-products-46847.php?page_id=147<br /><br />Use the vee neckline to break up the top line a bit, then the godets and fanciful pockets add interest at the hip to balance. I'm drooling over this one myself!<br /><br />Hi Shams! Thank you :) well, for me i mostly sew so i can have clothes that i can stand to wear (very picky re: fabric, techniques, very hard on clothing so i like to sew clothes that will last, i am excruciatingly hard to fit - hips around 6-8 up to 14-18 in the shoulders). I also just like to make things, and feel that making things for our own use provides a counteractive rebellious force to our consumerist/materialistic/money obsessed society.<br /><br />of course creativity happens during the process, but it's not my primary goal. The final decision comes down to 'what will make this the best garment for me in terms of comfort, performance/practicality and style'. If i'm taking pictures of wildflowers or mushrooms, then it's all about my creative expression. I don't care if you can ID the shrooms or if the color is accurate. I don't NEED a pic of a flower, i just want to say something about what i'm seeing in it. But i'm making a skirt now because the one i used to wear is getting pretty ratty and i can't go naked! <br /><br />Hope that helps, it's just how i look at it. And No Problemo! really, i wouldn't have noticed so much but she did the same thing she was accusing others of - and you, so unfairly! <br /><br />Happy Day All!!! steph<br />tinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-63832894164619200382013-05-29T18:06:42.925-07:002013-05-29T18:06:42.925-07:00This really does look great on you and I love how ...This really does look great on you and I love how you are styling it. How can you say you don't sew as a form of creative expression??!!

Fabulous fabric. So cute cant wait to see the close up. You are so right about the Tiltons designs being tricky for the big busted big shouldered types. I love how you styled this with a denim pencil skirt. So cute and I love it, really fresh and fashionable take on casual chic.

And thank you for encouraging me in my evil plan to take some closeups of the details for a future post! For me the little touches add a lot.<br /><br />Hi Sheila! yep, trapeze shape needs care in handlin'. I like to put this one over a pencil skirt or skinnies, and the very soft drape of the fabric makes a big difference. A big step for me - a third piece that won't go with ALL of the bottoms in my closet ;) !!! Thank you for stopping by - it's fun to be posting :)<br /><br />Thank you Patti :) It's great to see you having such a wonderful time in the Big Apple!!<br /><br />Howdy Myrna! oh, thank you :) That's interesting you're getting a similar vibe of of the Tilton sister's designs. I like it - it's great to have those 'looks great on everybody' designs, but nothing ups a person's style quotient like a design which shows off their own unique qualities.<br /><br />Happy Day Everybody!! stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-50297038553702051202013-05-28T07:33:12.498-07:002013-05-28T07:33:12.498-07:00Wonderful to click on your blog and see a new post...Wonderful to click on your blog and see a new posting. YEAH. <br /><br />Yes. I agree. And that could be why the Marcy pattern is sitting in my stash and the Katherine one has gotten closer to the top. I don't have a substantial bust line but without waist definition, I'm a tent.
