yaiAnn | Homepage | 08.26.07 - 11:25 pm | #

Loved it Erica!!!As I approach 40,there are so many things I want to learn how to do, and sewing is one of them. I should be ashamed of myself, my mother used to sew all of our clothes, and of course, I used to think they were 'mammy made' until she made me a Vinny Barbarino shirt, and I was hooked! but I never learned how. You are such an inspiration!!
Lisa | 08.27.07 - 12:02 am | #

Wow-you look fabulous, and what a great article! That jacket is making me want to drop all the have-to-makes and give it a try.
