Don't think they would suit my figure, so I am crossing my fingers that Colette will bring out a wide leg trouser pattern.<br />I have those problems with gaping waist and dipping back. Great thing about sewing that we can make adjustments. (In my case I think it is probably due to a large derriere, and hips and thighs...)<br />Not really connected to post but I have been getting snarly this week with people saying that everything looks better on skinny tall models. I guess I could, with a lot of abstinence, lose some weight but getting taller isn't really an option. Why does it look better, and why can't we all just be whatever shape we are?Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521904397315006981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-41950262986491627622011-10-13T04:38:10.288-04:002011-10-13T04:38:10.288-04:00Great to see an outfit again!

I'm looking forth to hear more about the Clover Pants - it seems like the issues you had with the gaping back and dipping waistband is the same problems I would have. It would be great with a sway back tutorial! Then I might dare trying the Clover Pants. <br /><br />You look smashing as always! :)frk.bustadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905037626664748421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-13603698404431963782011-10-12T20:19:05.343-04:002011-10-12T20:19:05.343-04:00Cute outfit, and yes, a great print.

The red was nowhere to be found.<br /><br />I've been itching for some Clovers but since I don't have the pattern I snapped up Simplicity 2315 (On a 99 cent sale) in hopes that it'll be a close enough match (without the strange tabs of course). I also got a black double knit to make them in. Here's hoping they look as good as yours!<br /><br />Hope you have a great trip!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529588501461129747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-4000880239901777032011-10-12T13:51:31.797-04:002011-10-12T13:51:31.797-04:00VERY nice!

Something about printed roses just make the heart go pitter-pat. I've been restraining myself from making garments from more than one of Joel Dewberry's Rose Bouquet pattern. It's dumb, whenever I really love how a print sews up, I'm tempted to buy the other colorways too. Eyeroll.<br /><br />Clover sews up lovely doesn't it? My fitting issue involves my lower tummy region and can only be solved with compression of the girding kind. I am longing for the pre-childbirth days when nothing flattered me more than a side-zip pant..sighlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129728708993920747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-46047092621554820272011-10-12T13:42:20.302-04:002011-10-12T13:42:20.302-04:00Love the Liberty Print.

The print of the blouse is great too. I've made the Liz blouse twice and I haven't been 100% satisfied with it either time. I think I have fitting issues in the back.... sway back issues perhaps. Also, the last time I made it in a heavier cotton shirting and the back armholes ended up rubbing the backs of my arms raw. Do you have that problem or is the Liberty cotton just like buttah?Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037636603903648365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-5451382001392025202011-10-12T12:59:17.584-04:002011-10-12T12:59:17.584-04:00Super cute!
