I tried ordering tweed fabric online once from Joann's... major FAIL because the material turned out with sparkly metallic threads and novelty looking.

I have been looking for sewing classes to take, but the new state/town I live in must not like doing doing sewing since I cannot find any classes!<br /><br />xoericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681790957020143383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-83020092044260184952010-10-26T18:02:01.060-07:002010-10-26T18:02:01.060-07:00PAG - Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say...PAG - Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say :) Yes, they definitely have some lovely fabrics on the site - I still have 3 more fabrics to turn into something.<br /><br />Michelle / Cee - Aww thank you ladies! I'm learning from all of you and will hopefully avoid fashion faux pas completely :)<br /><br />Ping - My mom used to be a seamstress and she started teaching me last year. I still have a ways to go on learning to tailor for a perfect fit (I'm more in the adequate fit realm) but thank you for the kind words.<br /><br />Elle - Thank you! If I didn't have a great teacher in my mom (and a well-worn seam ripper), I wouldn't be able to do much more than dream of making clothes.<br /><br />Cat - Would you be interested in taking classes? I'm heavily considering taking one so I can learn to drape/make clothing without patterns. You are completely right about the sandals, now I just need to find the perfect pumps!<br /><br />littlenashua - We definitely think alike! Hubby teases me about "molesting" all the fabrics when I go to Joann's. Good suggestion on AT - thanks!SewPetiteGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146296944137057378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-15919594759049014862010-10-26T02:30:30.490-07:002010-10-26T02:30:30.490-07:00You are exactly like me when it comes to fabric - ...You are exactly like me when it comes to fabric - I cannot buy it online because I have to feel it first.<br /><br />This looks great. I think it works with both tights and nylons. I would check out the AT website to see how they might style it (check J.Crew as well since they have a boucle jacket in the catalog right now).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-16030515132369138642010-10-25T21:01:31.135-07:002010-10-25T21:01:31.135-07:00Wow!

You're very talented! <br /><br />As for styling, I think the whole outfit is pretty sharp & cute as it is. But perhaps you're right about the pumps. I'm thinking those sandals are a little too casual for such a crisp, professional outfit? I don't think you necessarily need tights unless you live in a cold climate. Also, I think the skirt might benefit if it were tailored to be slightly shorter and tapered for more shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-91473289261374849492010-10-25T20:38:50.027-07:002010-10-25T20:38:50.027-07:00Looks terrific!

I love the fabric you chose to go with this style. It's a perfect match! I agree that given the type of fabric, it probably goes better with 'winter-y' type accessories, like tights or dark hose. I also think a pretty/sparkly brooch on the lapel would look great!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183749125846812753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-58776189745178812272010-10-25T19:37:03.008-07:002010-10-25T19:37:03.008-07:00Wow!
