You are quite the clever and resourceful one in using that cotton fabric to line the pockets. That's such a time saver and a great way to finish the edges. Whenever i make a shirt or jacket pocket I make a one piece pattern that mirrors the original and just fold it over and stitch, it works great in most cases. I like to analyze what I'm working on and look for ways to streamline things but maintain the quality.scorpioninbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004830986247178040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-17469338879493873662012-06-14T09:59:08.887-04:002012-06-14T09:59:08.887-04:00love them!! love the color.

It worked much better than the old "use a fluffy towel" advice. <br /><br />What *doesn't* go with lavender? I'd go with either a dark color like navy, black, dark brown or brights. I'd stay away from adding any more pastels, if wearing these myself.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-71637692624852634532012-06-14T08:53:59.007-04:002012-06-14T08:53:59.007-04:00They look totally fab!
