Nancy K said... I am continually impressed with your workmanship. This blouse is just beautiful. Thanks for the great review.
It is great to see young women who sew and sew well. 6/14/07 7:25 AM
LauraLo said... Wow, thank you everybody for your awfully nice comments! It's impressive and very encouraging to receive such positive feedback. I think the sewing community is a very supportive and friendly one. My husband says it is because it's made up mostly of women :) He might have a point here.
To answer some questions:
PattiU - this blouse is a bit older, I made it in March I think for the TimmelFabrics SWAP.
Membear: yes, the satin skirt is embroidered by hand. I don't have an embroidery machine, usually I use the decorative stitches on my brother nx-400, but this time I wanted to "revive" my embroidery knowledge...
Thanks very much everybody, I feel really happy reading your comments.
