And it is a great color for you. I was thinking about your question regarding using inexpensive fabrics when just starting to sew. It sort of worked out naturally for me. It was 35 years ago when I was in my teens and I only wanted to sew denim jeans and cotton shirts. Denim and cotton shirting were relatively inexpensive, but I bought them in the large discount department store, rather than the high priced fabric store, with my earnings from babysitting. One of the ladies I babysat for was an expert seamstress. After the kids were in bed, I would slip into her sewing room and look at, but not touch, her current sewing project. She was a lawyer's wife and had the money and the social life for designer fabrics and Vogue patterns. That's how I learned the level of expertise a home sewer can achieve.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482491890601966056.post-31372839575921923892011-12-08T17:54:28.775+04:002011-12-08T17:54:28.775+04:00Maria,

We are all so very busy.<br />When seing your dress I can't help thinking that the colour choice makes all the difference. This dress is rather plain, but this shade of blue gray works like magic and is gorgeous on you.<br />Can't wait to see what you've made with your red China silk.Marie-Noƫllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572431039329904583noreply@blogger.com
