Thanks for the wonderful tutorial on the faux cami-my few attempts in years past to fill in necklines like that have always looked like after thoughts and not done well at all. I still am not home to sew and wear stinking rtw all the time. There is nothing available at any price like the wonderful items you stitch up, I just love your blog and all the sharing of your sewing and family life. mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-53086012313497447032010-04-06T06:19:51.414-04:002010-04-06T06:19:51.414-04:00Pretty top!
