Here in the US they are hideous gore stained things that I wouldn't sleep in nor wrap my bod in. Or maybe it's just my neighborhood. Anyhoo, I must say that Nina is such a doll. I love her little face. This time of year I have a brunch to entertain the Jewish relatives and the Christian relatives and the recovering alcoholic relatives and the gluten-free and the diabetic and the neurotic relatives all at the same time so I cook like the godless fiend that I am, then I get a bit sozzled and usually manage to offend a different person every year.

OK, now I have sheet envy and I have the same Simplicity book as you. It is really good. The old ones are. If you ever see a McCall's one from the 50's grab it as they are full of stitching gems. Great that you got a pattern too. Sheets are excellent for sewing with and there is always loads of fabric. The colours will be great on you. xxxxMother of Reinventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409826036412353940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-35055975877520403942014-04-09T12:27:54.695-07:002014-04-09T12:27:54.695-07:00I just love that flowery dres, it looks perfect on...I just love that flowery dres, it looks perfect on you.

I have been very carefully remaining non-offensive/controversial but believe me I could offend a bazillion people if I revealed my true nature. ;-) Prior to this new blogging adventure I was spending time on a social/opinion site poking tigers with sticks on a regular basis. They were usually tigers of the American religious right stripe. One of my heroes is Christopher Hitchens.<br />Now back to dresses....I love that pattern and most especially the one with sleeves. I used to wear a lot of dresses like that but I hate sewing so such dresses are not going to happen anymore.<br />xoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-73940434268940017882014-04-09T10:50:58.688-07:002014-04-09T10:50:58.688-07:00I loved your costume idea!
