i LOVE all your stuff!!! When do you find all the time? Thanks for the comment on my red corset - after looking at your creations I really value your comment. Are they all for yourself or do you sell?
Lauriana, Thanks for your encouraging comments on my jacket. I almost gave up at one stage but I took my time and now I have a jacket ready for winter.
Lauriana, Just want to add to the long list of thank you's and ooh-and aahs over your creations. I really like your comments and contributions to this space. They are so useful, insightful, often timely, and always inspiring. I told this to JJ too, but I liken the two of you to superheroes who see through patterns and potential pitfalls that most of us, mere mortal seamstresses can not. All you need are spandex costumes and how poetic is it that you can design and sew one up! Just kidding but seriously, thanks.
Thanks for your comments lauriana. I love your creations especially red shirt and that's my next my project:). I also like your blazer but it looks like difficult to make.
Thanks for your comment on my JJ blouse! I really appreciate your advices! The suggestion with the bias tape sounds really good, but I'm not very experienced in working with it, although I figured out how to make it: I intended to cover the seams inside the blouse with bias, but satin bias tape is so fractious, it is nearly impossible to iron the folds (maybe basting it before will help) and again everything very slippery! So in the end I didn't do it because of too much work (for only some neat looking inner seams ;))
And yes upper back truly needs more room, but I'm not so sure if I could fix it. I didn't make the seams allowances too short, so I could give a little more room, but the fabric got hurt, the back seams are intact, but the yarn of the fabric got edged together (I'm sorry I'm not able to articulate better in english!).
We'll see. I just need a little pause from this blouse and this fabric and than I'll try to fix it.

I love all of your creations. I could totally see myself wearing them in like 10 years when I'm a professional with a real job!
I'm really enjoying your photographs. Great work! Did you take them?
