Re: The Lilah Dress

What a wonderful use for a vintage lace! I have tons of vintage laces and doilies and have been looking for ways to use them.

Very pretty fabric choice.

Re: 1941 "Misses' Mannish Jacket" (#3 of 3)

I love 1940's style jackets. Yours is wonderful!

Re: Synaptic | A Victorian Raver Ensemble

You've taken what I've always considered a very utilitarian fabric, rip-stop nylon, and taken it to new heights. Your coat is wonderful! It would look great on the stage with black lights. My mom gave me a jacket made of rip-stop nylon to take to the Goodwill. It'll never make the trip. I'm going to see if I can do something creative with the fabric.

Re: Juice Couture --- Recycle, Reuse

I've seen the tote bags, but this is really fun. Would make a great raincoat or umbrella too.

This is an absolutely amazing dress. You do the peacocks proud!

Re: Effi's kimono jacket

Wow! Very creative.

Re: Ecoutez Jacket Original Pattern

This is really a beautiful pattern and great fabric choice.

Re: Two tone violet jacket

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the layered collar, the embroidery, two colors of fabric, the buttons on the collars, the total design. I can't say enough about this wonderful jacket. I'm especially impressed by the sleeve cap. Your sewing is impeccable.

Re: Recycled Denim Piglet

Your pig is adorable! I love the idea of reusing jeans. The ears are really cute.

Re: Threads Halloween Costume Contest

That's about the cutest doggie costume I've ever seen!

Re: Ladies 18th Century ball gown

Very striking!

Re: Three Piece Gown

I love the addition of the feathers!

Re: 18th century inspired bridal gown

This is such an elegant and beautiful wedding dress. I especially love the Alencon Lace jacket. Using several different colored taffeta roses at the waist is a nice touch.

Re: Sari remade into bridal gown.

An Indian friend of mine gave me several beautiful sari's. She suggested that I cut them up and make quilts, but I felt that cutting them up would destroy the beauty of them. I thought about using them to drape over a window, but the colors didn't really match my house. Your dress design accentuates the beauty of the fabric.

Re: Dressed for the Prom

Your granddaughter looks beautiful in the dress. I especially like the bodice. I can tell you really love your granddaughter from the amount of work you were willing to do.

Re: Father Christmas

This is one of the nicest Santa outfits I've seem. Your choice of fabric and trims really make it special. What a sweet father-in-law you must have to want to bring joy to the hearts of the children in his town.

Re: Thinking Spring with my "fabric doodling"

I love the blouse. I can't wait to run upstairs (where my sewing machine is) and try out your idea on some silky fabric I have. This technique would be beautiful on the hem of a skirt. Also fun would be placing the twin needle rows close together and completely texturizing a fabric, then cut pattern pieced out.I might also try various stitch designs and see what effect I would get on the satin

Re: adult clothing converted to baby clothing

What a great idea. The baby sweater is really cute.

Re: Scrap Fabric

The addition of the pink fabric really makes the design pop.

Re: ribbon weaved hand bag

What a great idea! I've never thought of weaving ribbon through a purse. The flowers add just the right touch to make it special.

Re: 1952 Vogue Evening Dress

Taffeta is such a wonderful fabric for this kind of architectural design.

Re: Wool Jersey Dress with Drape Sleeves

Gorgeous! The sleeves are fantastic.

Re: Pink and Green Polka Dots Skirt with Daisy Trim

The fabric is adorable, and I love the cute daisy trim. It's a good way to accent the fullness at the hem. This would also be a cute treatment on a cuff with a circular ruffle.

Re: Wrap Around Flowers

Great use of a large print!

Re: Special Fabrics Bias Blouse

Your blouse is wonderful, and I love the fabric. You've given me an idea for using some wonderful skarves I have, but never wear.

Re: Flamingo Dance

Beautiful and elegant! I love the treatment on the vest. I would love to see a closeup of the "feathers".

Re: Bubble Skirt Tutorial (no sew)

I love your choice of fabric.

Re: Spring child's apron and hat

They're adorable. Your daughter is blessed to have a talented mom.

Re: Vintage Blue

What a cute bag! I wish you many wonderful adventures in sewing. I've been sewing for over 40 years, and it has been such a blessing. I'm never bored, because I always have a new project in mind.

Re: Zebra Print Dress for DD

What an interesting use of a an unusual fabric. It gives me ideas for new ways to use stripes. I love the inset in the skirt.
