I had no pattern and I made it out of this amazingly soft fake fur that was a huge nightmare. The fuzz was everywhere (including up the nose). I had to continually vacuum over and over again. LOL. I haven't touched fur since. Thanks for your inspiration. The skirt looks great. I just might give it a go.

Did you know that taffeta melts?? I know that now. :( Luckily I made that discovery on a piece of the lining, so it doesn't show on the outside. Plus, I found easing and stitching the lining to the seam inside the sleeve to be quite a pain. I felt more relief finishing that little jacket than I've felt about anything in a long time. It felt like almost as big an accomplishment as giving birth...<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway-- I'm so anxious to try my hand at knits! (Hopefully they don't melt...)

Probably the times I made flower-girl dresses for my girls ... two or three at a time, for three different weddings. Not harder than regular sewing, except for the shininess of the fabric, and the extra frilly-beady-flowery embellishments, and the fact that I was making multiple little dresses at once.Susie at ProsperityStuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02466149644744241796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32899530.post-81566617077936966282013-04-23T05:14:13.704-04:002013-04-23T05:14:13.704-04:00The scariest sewing project I ever had was sewing ...The scariest sewing project I ever had was sewing 3 flower girl dresses without having the opportunity to meet the girls and take their measurements myself. I was given the some basic measurements except height. Then the lady told me to just make them all size 6 without any adjustments even though one girl clearly measured smaller. The lady never let me know if they fit right or not. It was like flying blind. -- soparkaveataoldotcomElleehttps://openid.aol.com/opaque/84c4c974-1c06-11e1-9426-000bcdca4d7anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32899530.post-44728223381963798532013-04-22T23:34:37.633-04:002013-04-22T23:34:37.633-04:00It looks great, Amy!
