And it doesn't matter at all how old the pattern is, especially if the pattern pieces are good. I know what you mean about the pictures in public, I'm so thrilled that the area around my home is well landscaped so I don't have to venture out to take pics because I'm uncomfortable too with everyone looking at me!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-50620330982233995482013-10-04T21:00:20.080+10:002013-10-04T21:00:20.080+10:00I love this bright print - it makes me smile espec...I love this bright print - it makes me smile especially with these colours of fall.

I particularly like this fabric design and I know you will never tire of this shirt. I keep all my Liberty scraps, no matter how small because for me they are too precious to throw away.

Except I acquired mine from eBay pre-sewing days (I think it was a Herringbone shirt, from memory). I'm loving your version! So crisp. And yes, sometimes a pattern sleeve leaves a LOT to be desired... I often have to keep in mind that it's the design lines that are important, not the outdated photos! The shirt looks great :)poppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-81577295948710594442013-09-30T13:02:22.629+10:002013-09-30T13:02:22.629+10:00Thanks Silvia - I think all of my Burda sewing has...Thanks Silvia - I think all of my Burda sewing has trained me to look beyond the photos and crazy styling to see the lines of a pattern insteadKristy Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385704380789244157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-56389999002126762812013-09-30T13:01:31.477+10:002013-09-30T13:01:31.477+10:00Thank you.
