Your hits are amazing. Your misses are amazing too actually. I agree with you about the cotton sateen though. It looks so lovely on the bolt but wrinkles so terribly. That green is such a gorgeous colour though. If you find a wool crepe that colour you must let me know .. I'd love some too. :-)Sew Hopefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613468661739953359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-7070239055074193832014-01-13T05:14:28.895+11:002014-01-13T05:14:28.895+11:00It was a great sewing year, looking at your statis...It was a great sewing year, looking at your statistics!

Fantastic use of fabric.

It seems to fit well. Why not take a black permanent marker and draw designs onto it? Then iron it, super-heated, inside out, to set the colour. <br />There is a blog called Estherfromthesticks, and she does some doodling on a dress. It looks great.<br />Only a thought.<br />Mary in ThailandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-64785509425801071412014-01-11T00:31:12.151+11:002014-01-11T00:31:12.151+11:00What a fabulous review!

I've just ordered from them for the first time, and with the shipping cost to the US I really hopping they are amazing, I've read very good reviews on the webs! I also love New Look patters, and sometimes forget how much I do. They are always well cut, simple, stylish, and easy to to sew. Looking at your 2023, maybe I should try some Burda patterns as well! <br /><br />I always love seeing your posts!

Yours are gorgeous: they got pinned too, to my "sewing inspiration" board! Thank you so much for all the details you provided on their construction. Your makes are beautiful, and you seem to choose a lot of the same Burda patterns that I like, so it's really nice for me to see how they look made up!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.com
