I went back and read every entry and wanted to thank you for your enthusiasm and fun writing. It has really inspired me to take my sewing a little (a lot) farther than I have before. I am looking forward to keeping up with the blog on a regular basis (now that I am caught up).Jennellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-36660710989065952332012-06-15T11:29:24.049-04:002012-06-15T11:29:24.049-04:00I can't decide which one of you two is cuter!I can't decide which one of you two is cuter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-869046017251259662012-06-14T23:20:51.803-04:002012-06-14T23:20:51.803-04:00He's handsome and your dress is adorable.He's handsome and your dress is adorable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191164931370479056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-61984477132895640742012-06-13T12:41:44.214-04:002012-06-13T12:41:44.214-04:00Hi, love this and every other dress you've mad...Hi, love this and every other dress you've made and posted. Your blog has inspired me to sew. I found your blog 2 1/2 weeks ago, since then I've made 2 skirts, 1 pair of pants, attempted a top and made a dress. I have a sewing buddy who is helping me out. I've never sown before, but I want to try. Thanks for being out there. I hope you are well and are forever happy.

We MacGyvered one for our cat out of a semicircle wood basket (placed on the flat side), which we then lined top and bottom with cheap fleece blankets, cable-tied to the top. More blankets draped over the top and covering some of the front make it a super-cosy bed in the winter (our house is not warm) - but it took him months to deign to use it!Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-11379504928630867782012-06-12T16:16:54.578-04:002012-06-12T16:16:54.578-04:00Cute dress--I've forwarded your blog to my sis...Cute dress--I've forwarded your blog to my sister, who adores retro and vintage and is the most amazing seamstress.<br /><br />The cat bed is fantastic and epitomizes some of what I adore about sewing--making a custom gift to share your love!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Pamela<br />p.s., found your blog via SewingPatterns.com on FB!Johnny Mango Seedhttp://www.johnnymangoseed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-49607250632135356112012-06-12T12:29:25.039-04:002012-06-12T12:29:25.039-04:00I have a cat named Henry also, an orange tabby.

She just likes to switch up her sleeping spots all the time, so even if she tried it out for a couple of nights, she'd be somewhere else within the week and I'd be sad. Henry looks so cuper cute on that one though, so maybe I'll give it a go anyway?lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803974098934443459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-62143354732863170772012-06-10T14:49:55.801-04:002012-06-10T14:49:55.801-04:00SO cute!

The dress is lovely, I bet you were the best dressed at the restaurant. <br />I also wanted to mention that my Hobby Lobby has Simplicity patters for 99 cents next week. I had not been in years, but I recently discovered a new Hobby Lobby built last year. It may be the new location but it seems like they've improved their sewing and fabric section. And you can't beat 99 cents.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026343033105589597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-31121247397332201352012-06-09T10:21:06.962-04:002012-06-09T10:21:06.962-04:00I love this dress!
