I understand the pressure, as I was making last-minute alterations the day that I was going to a wedding. You’ll make it and Cathy will be the belle of the ball.

Sometimes I'll even double, triple and quadruple it to get it as stiff as I want. I love organza cause it's as stiff or light as I need. http://ow.ly/qCKIs<br />ClaireOKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794385586295229490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-45076364947068554272013-11-08T08:42:08.891-05:002013-11-08T08:42:08.891-05:00It is looking fabulous.

Of course there has been plenty of discussion about the often boring and repetitive aspects of creating clothing for men. (In spite of the often dubious efforts of designers to create a stir on the men's runway.) Maybe it has more to do with my own twisted perceptions as a reader, but I see a distinctive lift in spirit when you tackle something . . . more glamorous. And it is contagious, in a voyeuristic sort of way, watching you enjoy yourself. Of course the voyeuristic aspect of reading blogs or memoirs or watching reality tv - that is another subject.Papadesdeuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629184020220545924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-72208223435974988692013-11-08T02:56:17.681-05:002013-11-08T02:56:17.681-05:00Better Cruella than the destroyed Lucille option ;...Better Cruella than the destroyed Lucille option ;-)Debbie Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237352412615372174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-1309301551014636372013-11-08T02:43:26.962-05:002013-11-08T02:43:26.962-05:00There is nothing like last minute sewing!
