Sometimes, I'll even pull all-nighters due to the excitement. <br />A new addition to my wardrobe, especially if I made it, definitely ranks as one of the most exciting events I anticipate lol... it's a little bit sad, when I say it out loud... but it's a beloved hobby, what can I say!

It seems to simple, yet I haven't seen it suggested elsewhere, despite nail polish being highly regarded as the next best fray stopper to Fray Check.<br /><br />Yeah, some commercial patterns can sometimes be a bit of head-scratcher, but Simplicity *usually* has been the least confusing, as far I've seen... though it isn't saying much, to be honest. Sometimes not reading them at all helps me, and then I go on to decipher the instructions lol.Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-4813664460976439372013-10-10T22:49:03.263-07:002013-10-10T22:49:03.263-07:00Thank you!

I am definitely going to try this, thank you!<br /><br />Your sewing skills never cease to amaze me (I think I've said this in the past) and I love that you make things your own even while using a pattern!<br /><br />I just picked up a few patterns at Hobby Lobby (craft store) as they had a .99 cent pattern sale. I'm hoping I have the guts to re-try sewing from a pattern, they confuse the *bleep* out of me!

The lace overlay on the pockets is stunning. I agree, the shirt compliments the shorts very well, so despite them being shorts, they look really sophisticted in this ensemble. :) <br /><br />Also, you did a great job altering the pattern and finishing the shorts. I wish I could sew at least half as good as you can...maybe even 1/3 of your talent would be enough...:D Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-43169067485425675042013-10-08T03:43:44.381-07:002013-10-08T03:43:44.381-07:00Thank you! =)

And they look amazing on you. I love the lace on the pockets and the skull buttons :).<br />Also, your mom had exquisite taste in clothing :D those patent oxfords are so cute. I really like the clothes you chose for this outfit and your make-up: the colour of that lipstick is wonderful. Is is a dark red mixed with black and/or purple? In any case, it's a good colour for you :)Shannon Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181513036176083564noreply@blogger.com
