I think that i..."Hallelujah for pockets!" I think that is my clothing and sewing mantra. Awesome. <br /><br />Yes, Becky, the white skirt will be dyed and I will undoubtedly show it off when it is done.<br /><br />Mary, my mother and I made a couple skirts when I was in high school, but I didn't fully appreciate it at the time. Now I wish we lived closer so we could sew together still!<br /><br />PP, assembly line is a great idea! Perhaps it would have come to me when I got to it, but maybe not so thanks for the suggestion!<br /><br />Jamie, my mother bought me this sewing book (http://www.amazon.com/Better-Homes-Gardens-Sewing-Binder/dp/B000O6B6X0/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_3) because it was the one she'd used in the 70's. It is my only sewing reference book. I also am quite familiar with the manual for my machine. But mostly I just muddle through it. Not very helpful advice though perhaps.<br /><br />Thanks to you all for your compliments on my sewing project. It was sure fun and its always swell when things turn out like you hope.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-4167493007536159322011-11-18T15:43:18.283-07:002011-11-18T15:43:18.283-07:00Wow, beautiful and with pockets too, that's th...Wow, beautiful and with pockets too, that's the best!

If you want, I can tell you now to put pockets into all your skirts, made or bought. I even put pockets into skirts and pants without a side seam. A boutique in town would call me to come about six blocks to talk with a client. I usually sewed for earrings. What is the number of your pattern for that skirt. <br /><br />I definitely think you should add dresses and skirts to your business. Make them assembly line style. Cut all in one day and stack the like pieces together. Then, the next day you can start the assembly. Of course, that might be too confusing for a novice. <br /><br />A sundress would be nice.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-53718363120420811042011-11-17T01:31:13.753-07:002011-11-17T01:31:13.753-07:00GREAT job!

I'm planning a long sewing weekend here myself.
