It's really pretty fabric and should definitely be seen in public.Liz in Ypsilantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551683050101411764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-48548550155534997922010-08-19T09:02:06.830-04:002010-08-19T09:02:06.830-04:00And that's why I really don't love sewing ...And that's why I really don't love sewing clothes! I only do the simplest patterns I can find when I do make clothing, including designs with no buttons, no zippers, and definitely no fitting required! And when I find a pattern I like, I make it over and over... I leave high fashion to those who have that kind of brain... not for me!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-4735503265402357292010-08-18T22:25:45.754-04:002010-08-18T22:25:45.754-04:00Melody,

The second one is an attempt (by McCalls or whoever) to make a blouse with a sleeve without actually putting a sleeve in. I like a simple camp shirt for summer. It's just a regular short sleeve blouse with a collar. I have one I made out of a batik and I never fail to get compliments. Anyway, that's my two cents. <br /><br />Loisdaveandlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742017227071450522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-76319572824595978742010-08-18T19:11:29.812-04:002010-08-18T19:11:29.812-04:00You are right.
