They get big and old quickly huh?<BR/> When you get a chance, I know some of us would love to hear more on how you made the "tie front tee". BTW--I picked up a remnant of the lime slinky at Joann's the other day and thought it looked famililar! It is less than a yard so I am not sure what do do with it BUT IT IS MINE!Mrs.Mooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973024137226068931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-32573227791349935632008-05-11T23:23:00.000-04:002008-05-11T23:23:00.000-04:00Love those new tops - they turned out great!

My knee is still out from moving dd last week so nothing sewing wise happening here. Maybe this week -it could happen! <BR/>I love your fabulous clothes. Please please will you and Carolyn consider showing the dim witted among us how to add the neck band to the top. I have fallen in love with these tops and don't have a clue how to do one. Or if either of you know of a pattern that is similar pleeeeease tell. I have to have some of these tops and don't have a prayer in heck of getting one unless one of you takes pity at some point. No hurry though as I know you have your own fish to fry getting your life rearranged. Thanks for all the tutorial you have done for us. mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-40484166781440730662008-05-11T19:34:00.000-04:002008-05-11T19:34:00.000-04:00Debbie - you can steal an idea from me any time! *...Debbie - you can steal an idea from me any time! *LOL* But I am going to put in another plug for an all black or all navy suit...you don't have to wear the pieces together and they will go a long way in helping extend your work wardrobe...<BR/><BR/>Also I guess as the sister of two sisters who are recruiters I know that they look for that black/navy/grey or dark brown suit in interviews and neither are in banking.<BR/><BR/>My first interview suit is a grey menswear plaid with big silver buttons...it is a little edgy and makes me stand out in a room of grey and navy suits. It also shows my personality!!! Just think about it okay! :)Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-2148800831156073902008-05-11T18:10:00.000-04:002008-05-11T18:10:00.000-04:00I love your work ensembles!

I love your new wardrobe - everything about each piece is splendid! I love the colors, the style, everything. I agree with you on the suit - out here in the Pacific Northwest, we don't see them much any more, but for interviews I always make sure to wear a jacket with a collar - gives that same professional look without the stiffness of a matching suit. But then, offices that I have to go to are usually filled with people in jeans, t-shirts, and Birkenstocks (with or without white socks.) LOL. <BR/>(PS - My baseboards are being installed on Tuesday, so I'm very close to getting my butt back in the sewing room!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-65523123044301494202008-05-11T12:06:00.000-04:002008-05-11T12:06:00.000-04:00Can I go back and fix my spelling?

I also like the way your "outfits" colors are working together, kind of like a SWAP, but I know you don't do those! LOL.Sherrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682899485401222209noreply@blogger.com
