To achieve this look, just use natural woven fabrics like cotton, denim, linen (although linen can feel very hot) wool and wool derivatives, and other natural things. Manmade fabrics include polyester and nylon, and it tends to bead up afterLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-46161418984329475542011-07-08T20:54:09.875-07:002011-07-08T20:54:09.875-07:00The clothing at Lilies of the Field also have a di...The clothing at Lilies of the Field also have a dignified look.<br /><br />The drawings on the patterns inspire the seamstress more.

The patterns shown here and what I've looked at on sites like candle on the hill don't have that kind of look even though they have similarities and are very modest.

The green and red dresses pictured in the front are lovely. <br /><br />I've been sewing memorial quilts for families who have lost a relative. It's been inspiring for me as the quilt comes to life with stories and memories of the past.<br /><br />warmly,<br /><br />JasmineFar Above Rubieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090466984173332753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-62602707623486534272011-07-04T05:44:43.686-07:002011-07-04T05:44:43.686-07:00Wonderful post!

The one pattern that shows a full swing style dress in the middle, that is done in yellow, is totally my style, as well.<br /><br />I agree with the PP who mentioned Lawrence Welk. I also love the LW show! It's one of the things my grandparents loved, that my mother loves, and I love it, as do my daughters!<br /><Rightthinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448900188921522323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-77615259423655434062011-07-04T00:16:50.364-07:002011-07-04T00:16:50.364-07:00Lydia,
