I can imagine it was difficult to sew but you did an amazing job and the fit is perfect. When my hair was brown but frosted, I knew my perfect colors. Now that I am graying, I am really thrown off because I am so pale and look dreadful in black but without brown in my hair, my beautiful rose browns don't work so well.

I'm loving that textured jacket; I've bought fabric in the past that has been difficult to sew. I try not to fall in love with the more challenging selections, although I am hungry for a lovely heavy lace to make a simple tank.<br /><br />Sounds as though you have access to some of the choicest fabric stores. The selection seems to be less and less up here in Vancouver.Sue @ A Colourful Canvashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509898677660889672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482123419519585242.post-73981869466478459512014-02-25T10:41:03.841-08:002014-02-25T10:41:03.841-08:00Welcome back to the land of the living, Margy!
