I find them a little bit of a challenge, but I like them, so I persist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1589084 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 00:14:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1589084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving your fabulous sewing skills, Sharan! &nbsp;What pattern did you use for the lantern skirt? &nbsp;</p> <p>The boot collection is equally fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1589074 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 22:55:47 +0000 unfrumped 1589074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oy, sweatshirt dress is so cool.<br />And love the berry and taupe also. I think this outfit with the cropped pants is working better for the pants, yes? Something about proportions or juxtaposing the top and sweater. Dunno but I like it.<br />And love the embroidered T! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1589011 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 18:04:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1589011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! <br />Karie, I made it partly on the sewing machine and partly on the serger. The stitching you see around the yoke (horizontal across the chest) is done with the coverstitch part of my serger. If your machine dealer offers classes and you can take them, you'll be comfortable with a serger in no time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588953 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 12:51:08 +0000 Anonymous 1588953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness me: these are stunning! (I think I remember when you made that sweater dress, I just love it). I can't pick a fave here--these are all fab and all different--but I am gobsmacked by the gorgeousness of your lantern skirt. It's amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588938 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:01:14 +0000 Karie 1588938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet sister, these are fantastic! I absolutely adore these 'made by me' items. And that machine embroidered tee is super cool. My favorite is the sweatdress - did you make that on your serger? I am still considering getting one, haven't pulled the trigger yet because of the steep learning curve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588905 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 05:35:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1588905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!<br />Aquamarine, I sewed the shrug out of a sweater knit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588897 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 05:16:42 +0000 CocoLion 1588897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt in #1 is so amazing. &nbsp;I love the sweat dress too. &nbsp;That lantern skirt &nbsp;looks incredibly chic with the dressy DJP boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588886 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 05:01:30 +0000 Anonymous 1588886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all!

I adore the colors of the cranberry outfit on you. </p> <p>I can imagine it's not easy to feel "festive" when you have to work on a holiday weekend and have hordes of customers, some of whom probably aren't always kind and polite... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588586 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:05:35 +0000 Angie 1588586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohoooo. More festive fabness from sensational Sharan. Love it all - especially the proportions and lines of #1.

I have fabric to make another sweatdress; I should get on that soon!

I'll second Shevia for a petite version of the sweatshirt dress please. I also like the slightly steampunk feel of the asymmetric skirt in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588479 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:15:14 +0000 Elizabeth P 1588479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great set of outfits, firecracker. My hands down fav is 3-4, just because I like those colours on you a lot. But the shapes and proportions in all three are just wonderful. Put my name on the sweatshirt dress order list as well. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-work-outfits-trying-to-stay-festive#post-1588476 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:09:24 +0000 Jaime 1588476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Festive and so impressive.
