Thanks to everyone who left a comment on the last post. I'm actually leaning towards the oak tag solution and can pick up the supplies in the garment district, I just wanted to know what others thought and did. So thanks for your thoughtful answers to the question.
Second, I'm going with the herringbone inserts for the Vogue 1370 dress. One because those insert pieces are bigger than you guys realize...remember I'm working with larger pieces than the size 8 pictured in the pattern art and two, because the outfit will work with these shoes...

Yes, I do sew based upon my accessories...
A confession ~ the USPS boxes are still riding around in the trunk of the car. I thought they had been dropped off but alas they are still in the car. I sincerely apologize to all who are waiting for things for me...life has been a little hectic lately and that's why the boxes haven't been shipped. So I'm suspending this month's fabric giveaway. I've got to get the other boxes out first before I can do another giveaway.
I'm not in the mood to sew...and my current sewing list is not appealing to me. Right now I feel like just sewing separates ~ a skirt here, a pair of pants, a simple dress, a top or a cardigan. Things that will work with my other garments but don't require a lot of involved sewing. Things like this:

Things that will work with my other garments but don't require a lot of involved sewing. Things like this:
A top from my TNT dress made from a silk border print
This Ann Taylor dress using B5147
Rachel Roy multi-print pencil skirt
Jacket and skirt with pleather accents
None of this will get sewn anytime soon...it's just things I've been lusting after while I haven't been sewing. Will do a little work on the Vogue dress today...
....as always more later!
