I must say that you are so creative and I am very appreciative that you share your ideas with others. I also am glad to see and read the Christian comments you include. I have written down some of the links you included for further study. Thanks again.

The Black adn white posted at the end of July is sophisticated and stunning---something I would wear to the theatre or out to dinner, whereas the red/white/blue is simpler. However the princess seam on the patriotic looks incredibly flattering----I would love to know how to do it---and the curved edges really transform things---I could see a great use for the Bernina binding attachment for the edges (my dealer talked me into one and I am still trying to find good places to use the investment, as it is much better on curves like this than corners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11206504.post-53755595709428255102008-08-17T16:28:00.000-07:002008-08-17T16:28:00.000-07:00Londa, I love the new jacket.

I have done some sweatshirt jackets but just with the cheap ones and some really simple designs. I can't wait to 'advance' to your patterns!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11206504.post-83210521802152892232008-08-17T13:07:00.000-07:002008-08-17T13:07:00.000-07:00fYI - I try to wash everything that goes onto my j...fYI - I try to wash everything that goes onto my jackets before attaching - though sometimes the creative urge is too demanding to stop and do that. IF I've washed everything - Plus the very strong attachment of them to the jacket with couching, fusing with Misty Fuse (softer, maleable - love it over Wonder Under) I feel very safe in washing delicate - cool, and with a towel or to to 'cushion', drying just a bit and hanging to dry. Haven't ruined one yet...<BR/>LondaLondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048899889077937951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11206504.post-50315019098227071892008-08-17T12:59:00.000-07:002008-08-17T12:59:00.000-07:00I really like the recycling of men's ties.

The only drawback is the dry-cleaning factor; but when you put this much work into a jacket, dry-cleaning is necessary. Thanks for inspiring others. <BR/> <BR/>NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11206504.post-65536378957507273802008-08-17T12:08:00.000-07:002008-08-17T12:08:00.000-07:00Londa - I really like the inspiration of using old...Londa - I really like the inspiration of using old ties. I've always loved the silk ones! They are made from fabrics and patterns that are just not available to the home sewers. This is a great idea to recycle some! <BR/><BR/>NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11206504.post-16446820807984484682008-08-17T11:30:00.000-07:002008-08-17T11:30:00.000-07:00Love this jacket...very elegant sweatshirt.I also ...Love this jacket...very elegant sweatshirt.<BR/>I also liked your comments on the "10 Things a Woman Must Have in Her Wardrobe".
