I was young then, and dressed according to the fashion trends, so, if a crumpled paper sack was the style, I probably would have worn it. Now, I would like to wear this outfit because it is feminine without being too flouncy, and it is modest yet stylish.

This looks time consuming but I put it up because I was accused of not being fashionable like Vogue, and I was amused to find that Vogue has some modest patterns, and some Victorian style patterns. This shows that it isn't so out dated or out of fashion to like this kind of thing.Maybe they should write to Vogue and accuse them of Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-66270039873247892752008-06-17T10:51:00.000-07:002008-06-17T10:51:00.000-07:00Very attractive outfits.

I am just wondering if you know of any good websites that teach you in a very user-friendly way the basics of sewing. I have a machine but don't even know how to thread it! (For shame!) I plan at some point to ask one of the ladies from church to help me, but getting started with a "how to" might help and a website would be best as Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412744189611967954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-59300861550918848732008-06-17T07:45:00.000-07:002008-06-17T07:45:00.000-07:00I love this pattern.

It is quite lovely - I just remember it taking yards and yards of fabric and all the narrow hemming was a challenge for me back than - of course I was a teenager and didn't have a narrow hem foot for my machine! As I recall, she wore it to a weddingHeather Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563913535839786305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-84457580933280107292008-06-16T18:54:00.000-07:002008-06-16T18:54:00.000-07:00I forgot to add this to my comment.
