I'm at about 90% during the summer and 85% during the winter...so you aren't doing bad!<BR/><BR/>I am amazed at the refashioned shirts! What a great idea! Have you only done these or are there more?Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-19746833963183335002008-06-19T11:17:00.000+10:002008-06-19T11:17:00.000+10:00Love the gangsta shirt!

The few shirts that I've attempted have been in basic cottons and I think they really need the stretch component in them for the better fit. Just another thing on my never-ending To Do list.<BR/><BR/>Love your work! Oh the galaxy dress... adding that to my list too.<BR/><BR/>As for the tux-shirt - I'm surprised it lasted from all the wear and tear of a B&S!!

But now the things I used to make just don't fit into my everyday wardrobe anymore, which of course I need to change. At least today I'm at 50% because of my skirt, made over 10 years ago!lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-46847018474334229042008-06-18T07:29:00.000+10:002008-06-18T07:29:00.000+10:00Kristy your refashioning looks great.

He also went to a lot of B&S balls, it must have been the right thing to wear for drinking!kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-8277651198629197962008-06-18T03:17:00.000+10:002008-06-18T03:17:00.000+10:00Is a "block pattern" what we Americans call a sloa...Is a "block pattern" what we Americans call a sloaper? <BR/>-SandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-24873813572465762082008-06-18T02:46:00.000+10:002008-06-18T02:46:00.000+10:00Kristy how very clever of you!

I once made a skirt and short jacket out of a womens coat for one of my daughters when she was quite young. I especially like that you used the buttons/button holes that were already there! Nice! <BR/>Great job!
