Question -- I bought rayon challis -- one of the new Westminster Liberty prints (blue millfiore) and am not sure what to use for lining or the sash. I like the idea someone had about making the dress reversible. Ideas would be very appreciated.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855073326242929027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-46959414554326600252010-11-30T02:45:33.730-05:002010-11-30T02:45:33.730-05:00I'm still waiting for my pattern to arrive so ...I'm still waiting for my pattern to arrive so a longer schedule is fine.<br />I had planned to joined the Lady Grey Sew Along - even bought the pattern and joined the flickr group - then work got crazy and I had no hope. So I am really, really looking forward to joining in this time.<br />Does anyone see a problem with making this a reversible dress? I haven't seen the pattern yet so I'm not sure if it would work. There are just so many gorgeous fabrics out there it seems a shame to make a lining that won't be seen.shimmyalleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-13841651515192786142010-11-30T00:37:14.529-05:002010-11-30T00:37:14.529-05:00I'm all for relaxing the schedule as fitting t...I'm all for relaxing the schedule as fitting the muslin always takes loads more time than I think it will :)Luckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972749502445846962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-82625484840430556032010-11-30T00:08:47.000-05:002010-11-30T00:08:47.000-05:00looser schedule please!looser schedule please!Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079157931619472228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-81209096947443727842010-11-29T22:35:35.171-05:002010-11-29T22:35:35.171-05:00I have to agree with most of the other sew-alonger...I have to agree with most of the other sew-alongers that a longer timeline would be better for me.
