Lovely shot of the two of you. Pretty dress with the dizzy pattern, the colors are gorgeous on you. Nice fabric selections too. The floral would be fab either as a full interior line (if smooth enough?) and certainly for the sleeve turn. Thanks for sharing!</p> <p>(Also, cute pup ^^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-mini-meet-up-1#post-1731906 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:20:57 +0000 Jane 1731906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Di, that is Porridge, languishing on the bed enjoying the sun!&nbsp;So pleased the curry was good!</p> <p>Thank you Robin, Janet and JAileen. Its a lovely thought to how nice it would be related to Di! Janet, I highly recommend a bit of a sew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-mini-meet-up-1#post-1731894 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 14:40:25 +0000 JAileen 1731894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You two both look lovely.

How nice to have a YLF mini meet along with the occasion. Your dress is great too, and I am always in awe of Diane's creations. </p> <p>I've been toying with the idea of getting out my never-used sewing machine and seeing if I can teach myself to sew again (I learned in junior high school, but that was a long time ago). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-mini-meet-up-1#post-1731842 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 13:15:31 +0000 RobinF 1731842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very fun!

I've been stroking my fabric purchases today :D, perhaps I'll pop it in&nbsp;a post with my wiw from yesterday. Oh and I hope your journey home was ok...a slightly later train than yours got completely cancelled! Thank goodness it wasn't yours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-mini-meet-up-1#post-1731828 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 12:49:00 +0000 kkards 1731828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh how lovely!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-mini-meet-up-1#post-1731825 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 12:39:43 +0000 Suz 1731825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love to see these meetups!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-mini-meet-up-1#post-1731823 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 12:19:18 +0000 Jane 1731823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, Diane and I had a lovely day out in Birmingham yesterday. It was part of a sewing meet up (SewBrum) that Di has joined. We had a fantastic time! Lots of time to catch up and chat about dressmaking and fashion.&nbsp;</p> <p>We went to a couple of fabric stores and markets. I bought some beautiful fabric, deep green / grey and a Very Easy Vogue pattern for a jacket, and Liberty flowery fabric for a possible sleeve turn up. I think it will be a casual jacket to wear with jeans at the weekend. Di has filled me with confidence and top tips on how to tackle this project.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was wearing my Isabel Marrant dress from Brighton, and Di beautiful jeans and top (made by Di of course!). &nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for looking!</p> </p>
