Reggies Mom said... Sorry you're not so pleased with your shrug, but they all can't be winners. I'm always amazed at how prolific a sewer you are, constantly turning out really cute pieces. Glad you pointed this out because that dress has a really unique neckline....can't wait until you get around to whipping that up. (Oh, your link to the McCall 5045 doesn't work. You've got an extra "htt" at the beginning.) 4/30/07 7:17 PM
mochalover said... I agree with Reggie's Mom I too am amazed at how you constantly turn out cute pieces. Where do you get the time? I need to know your secret! Anyway I think the shrug is still a keeper. 4/30/07 8:07 PM
OP Gal said... Very cute shrug. Too bad you don't love it. At least you have something you can wear without investing a lot of money to sew it. 4/30/07 8:07 PM
Nancywin said... Your Jackette is very cute - but I know that if it is not comfortable, you wll probably never wear it. Considering all the cute things you make, I guess 1 "not so great" is not so bad. Why did you choose to use a heavy cotton for the lining instead of something more slippery? 4/30/07 8:58 PM
frame said... I'm sorry your shrug isn't that comfortable, but it sure does look cute! Do you think it's the dolman sleeves? 4/30/07 10:10 PM

ryan's mom said... Looks great even though you have fitting issues with it. The dress isn't at the top of your list??? Gosh, I'd love to see you make that one up :) !!! 5/1/07 7:37 AM
nicegirl said... Thank you for the compliments, everyone. Maybe I am starting to like it more. ;-) I lined it with the cotton to give some body to the lifeless poly brocade. And because it was already in my stash. It's a polished cotton so it slides on and off well. 5/1/07 5:14 PM
EastwoodFan said... Your reviews are always a must read. I like your sense of style and you have a lot of talent. This shrug is really cute! 5/1/07 10:16 PM
