hi juebejue! great to hear from you on my blog :) i just wanted to let you know that i posted the little black dress pattern there if you want to download it and play around with it. i think you should be able to lower the neckline without any problem. it’s cool that we’re the same size— it’s a little bit like sharing stuff out of each other’s closets ;)

I just moved and there’re only 3 bedrooms. I will have to sew in the basement ;-( and the floor is not
ready to set up yet. I’ll be for a long time until I can sew again. I counted, I have moved like 4-5 times in
this past year. It was horrible. I have no new creation and not very active in the website because of
this. Your shirt is awesome, such a good work around the bib. I totally love this style and I see them
everywhere in stores. How lucky that we can sew!

i cant believe that your fiance takes pics! they look so professional. your creations are great, and the photos really show that too! my husband takes pics of me too, but we only have a regular 8 mega pixel digital camera, and it doesnt come out crystal clear like yours:(

HI! Your creations are so beautiful and fit you so well!!! I had a question for you about the coffee date dress you made. Did you use an 18" zipper like the pattern says? On the pattern it looks like the zipper should go down into the skirt part of the dress, but an 18" zipper only goes half way down the back of the top… I’m worried I wont be able to fit my hips or shoulders through the small waist if I don’t use a longer zipper… any ideas? Thanks so much!!

What kind of wool did you order from Fabric.com? I’ve made a couple purchases but know nothing about wool but would like to :). I’d love to check out the kind that you purchased.

Yay for tiny sewing engineering girls! I had a feeling the coffee date dress pattern would fit you :) BTW, amazing job on the jeans- I know how hard it is for short women to find a great-fitting pair!

Thanx Juebejue! and thanx for pointing out that the pattern was not showing up…I added it in under credits, its simplicity 2762, nice and simple but could do with having some pockets added…

You are way too modest, The way I see your creations, you could have upgraded yourself by the time you made the coat or your super cute Chior dress!x

I noticed that following comments received earlier, you’ve decided to “upgrade yourself” to an “intermediate” sewer. I’m curious about your history – did you start sewing when you joined BurdaStyle? Or had you been sewing for some time before? Perhaps you could post a short bio that talks about your sense of expertise and growth? As someone who has been sewing only since joining BurdaStyle 6 months ago, I am curious about the evolution of other sewers…

hi juebejue- i was just looking at your gorgeous jj meets jennifer top, and in addition to admiring the top, i noticed that you have a dress form!!! it looks like the kind i want- just a simple french style one. can i ask you where you got it? i’ve been having a hard time finding that style of dress form with anything less than a 33" bust!

hi elainemay! thanks :) my awesome fiance actually surprised me with that dressform a few month ago. he said he got it from here:
http://www.bodyformsco.com/
Its the smallest one they have — its chest and butt is a little bigger than mine, and waist is a little smaller, so i dont use it for fitting a lot. but its useful to hand the cloth on there for some hand sewing sometimes :)
oh oh! and its entirely foam, so very light and and pinnable!
