I recently wore it with a belt, a blue cardy and little kitten shoes and it was just gorgeous, as you suggested.<br /><br />Now about Burda downloads, you know I've never tried taking them to a copy centre because (cough cough) why pay someone else to do it when I can do it for free at home. <br /><br />I have downloaded a few free burda patterns recently so I think I may have to find out more about it. Just about everyone complains about printing then taping then tracing. It does sound like a real hasssle.<br /><br />Other free downloads I've used print the pieces on top of each other so you just need to trace out over a few pages. Much better.<br /><br />If you do find out, let me know, likewise I'll let you know if I find out.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461709881987109797.post-80996601901770298142010-06-15T21:46:39.338+12:002010-06-15T21:46:39.338+12:00gorgeous skirt!

The other day I woke up thinking about personalised pillow cases for all the birthday parties we have invites to.

They look fantastic! I really like the combination and the quilting is a winner. Funnily enough I was laying in bed this morning thinking about quilting a jacket (even though I've never done it before). I agree about the SWAP matching. It's hard to make all tops match all bottoms and invariably a top will go really well with one bottom and so so with the others. I like how flirt is progressing.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461709881987109797.post-85093281553290429712010-06-14T05:52:48.193+12:002010-06-14T05:52:48.193+12:00The new blog look is great.

I think the fabric is cute and can see why you had trouble resisting picking it up.<br /><br />I get what you mean by the outfit choices in a wardrobe. I have been sewing a storm and have nearly finished 3 skirts - 2 plain, one patterned. The patterned fabric intended for a top will go well with two of the skirts but, of course, not with the patterned skirt... so I suppose it is not really a 'wardrobe', even though I know I will wear all of them.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023115170916061414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461709881987109797.post-66871370954885223852010-06-13T20:01:43.037+12:002010-06-13T20:01:43.037+12:00OOps, had trouble posting...OOps, had trouble posting...Mirinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461709881987109797.post-52942178605354389372010-06-13T19:48:37.526+12:002010-06-13T19:48:37.526+12:00The whole outfit looks great.
