I think the dress with the tourquoise necklace (dress you posted last) is my fave, though it's hard to pick one. I love those colors, the style of the dress on you with the pretty sleeve detail, and your styling with that fab necklace. These all have such bright, feminine looks, very fresh and summery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-995169 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:42:33 +0000 Susie 995169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am always impressed by sewing skills!

I'm impressed of your skills! All are beautiful. I reall can appreciate&nbsp;the uniquety of an&nbsp;original print, color, or&nbsp;sewing pattern! I once loved sweing, and still &nbsp;do&nbsp; all my family's alterations by myself, but was always fearing the nowaday trendy flowy fabrics, as they&nbsp;all tend to be strechy-do you have an interlock maschine? I also am also fearing the perfect&nbsp;hemming, esp. on neklines. Can you pls advise can it be so easy to do such fab things?<br />Thanx for sharing. I miss your regular posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-985824 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 06:47:44 +0000 CocoLion 985824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am impressed, especially that you can sew jerseys. &nbsp;I always struggled with those. &nbsp;Terrific assortment, I especially like the dress in 4 and the tee in 5. &nbsp;The tee looks like something from Splendid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-985796 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 05:13:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 985796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty colours - you have been busy.

Did you sew the skirt in #3 from a pattern or was that free form as well? Can you share the pattern number if you used one? Love all of these and you are raising my interest in sewing more. The fabrics you selected really sing! Well done on all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-985244 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:11:29 +0000 Thistle 985244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have been busy!!&nbsp; Impressive, and how fun is it to wear a unique piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-985241 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:06:32 +0000 Betti 985241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So impressive! It makes me want to lug out the old sewing machine.</p> <p>Where do you shop for patterns, or do you do your own? A few years ago I got a book about making your own skirt patterns and made the most lovely little skirt from it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-985240 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:05:54 +0000 Anonymous 985240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find jersey always needs a special stretch sewing needle and try a very slight zig zag stitch when sewing so that it keeps a bit of seam stretchability.Also an&nbsp;'Even Feed' or a 'Walking foot' helps fabric move through the machine too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-985193 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:26:11 +0000 teri 985193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the jersey is tricky... it bunches on me sometimes too.</p> <p>the hi-low skirt is a jersey (very thin) got it from a website called Girl Chalee fabrics. Great prices for cute knits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-985033 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:09:52 +0000 Jamie 985033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

How are you sewing the jersey fabric? Every time I try it always seems to bunch up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-984950 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:07:17 +0000 Anonymous 984950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well for a novice you must be a quick study they are all fab! <br />You've shown everything from dressy to casual tees. and they all look flawless. If you hadn't have said about wishing the skirt was narrower in 4 I wouldn't have known any better, its great. The high low skirt is great. Is that a jersey? It hangs nicely.<br />&nbsp;Also, the dress you added after is pretty and a flattering shape. love the turquoise picked out with your necklace.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-984905 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 13:33:38 +0000 teri 984905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>forgot this one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-sewing#post-984900 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 13:26:54 +0000 teri 984900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been busy sewing............ loving it!!!<br />Here's what I've made lately</p> <p>#1<br />This is a two piece outfit (so I can also wear them seperate)<br />The top was made from a pattern, the skirt is just freeform.</p> <p>#2<br />Skirt by me.
