I indulged myself a little bit with gold beads on the neck and the seams going down the outside center of the sleeves. I hate shopping and can never find anything that I like or that fits; this is a lovely addition to the wardrobe and I figure if I need something nifty for a slightly more casual fancy thing this fall/winter, I can always wear it with nice black pants. My next 'patriotic sewing project' is a knit dress..Toby Wollinhttp://www.kitchencountereconomics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716616407420487026.post-3801518094117666872009-06-01T17:57:52.501-04:002009-06-01T17:57:52.501-04:00Excellent advice!

(I think one of the reasons I didn't buy it was I was afraid I'd never sew it). <br /><br />Go ahead, make something fabulous with it, I'll be looking forward to seeing the result. <br /><br />I've cut into some "good stuff" lately, and it really DOES feel good.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449229622474314815noreply@blogger.com
