If it is at all possible to send those to me, that would be fantastic. I'd love to see the pictures along with the tutorial. You can send to jodie0624 (at) gmail (dot) com. Hi Connie.

I was hoping too that you might be able to give me some advice. I'm an occasional sewer. My daughter wants me to make a dress for her for a 1920s themed party - so she wants it kind of flapper style. The thing is, she wants the dress to have some fringe at the bottom so that it will look flapperish but she wants the fringe to be removable so that she can wear the dress again later. Any idea how to make it removable? Hi,

This spring, finally, I found a long straight-hanging cool-feeling top from Tribal Mountain, and love it's material, pattern, look, etc. so much that I'd like to have many more along the same design. But finding the right material and seamstress is my big problem. Can you help me? I'm 74 now, hopefully with many good years left ahead of me. What a difference it makes to wear this one particular top and feel comfortable, yet dressy at the same time. I need a few more of these, but want each to look a little different, color-wise, etc. So, please advise. 1-519-642-4715,,,, Carol Setterington (carolorken@sympatico.ca) Dear Connie,

I really enjoy reading your blog. I am not even close to the seamstress you are. I was hoping you might be able to give me some advice. I came across your photos while you were making a lace-up back wedding dress. I am attempting to make something similar for my daughter. Making the cording for the lacing loops is throwing me for a real loop! Do you have any suggestions? The dress is ivory dupioni silk and the lacing and loops are a carmel color. Thanks for your time!

Any idea how to make it removable? Hi,
I love reading your blog! I was hoping too that you might be able to give me some advice. I’m an occasional sewer. My daughter wants me to make a dress for her for a 1920s themed party – so she wants it kind of flapper style. The thing is, she wants the dress to have some fringe at the bottom so that it will look flapperish but she wants the fringe to be removable so that she can wear the dress again later. Any idea how to make it removable?

This spring, finally, I found a long straight-hanging cool-feeling top from Tribal Mountain, and love it's material, pattern, look, etc. so much that I'd like to have many more along the same design. But finding the right material and seamstress is my big problem. Can you help me? I'm 74 now, hopefully with many good years left ahead of me. What a difference it makes to wear this one particular top and feel comfortable, yet dressy at the same time. I need a few more of these, but want each to look a little different, color-wise, etc. So, please advise. 1-519-642-4715,,,, Carol Setterington (carolorken@sympatico.ca) Dear Connie,

Making the cording for the lacing loops is throwing me for a real loop! Do you have any suggestions? The dress is ivory dupioni silk and the lacing and loops are a carmel color. Thanks for your time!

I was hoping too that you might be able to give me some advice. I'm an occasional sewer. My daughter wants me to make a dress for her for a 1920s themed party - so she wants it kind of flapper style. The thing is, she wants the dress to have some fringe at the bottom so that it will look flapperish but she wants the fringe to be removable so that she can wear the dress again later. Any idea how to make it removable? Hi,

What a difference it makes to wear this one particular top and feel comfortable, yet dressy at the same time. I need a few more of these, but want each to look a little different, color-wise, etc. So, please advise. 1-519-642-4715,,,, Carol Setterington (carolorken@sympatico.ca)

I really enjoy reading your blog. I am not even close to the seamstress you are. I was hoping you might be able to give me some advice. I came across your photos while you were making a lace-up back wedding dress. I am attempting to make something similar for my daughter. Making the cording for the lacing loops is throwing me for a real loop! Do you have any suggestions? The dress is ivory dupioni silk and the lacing and loops are a carmel color. Thanks for your time! Amy Connie,

Went to Butterick.com today and guess what... they have a 2 day sale, Thurs & Friday order online and the patterns are .99 so I ordered 4. You have got me all excited. I hope the patterns don't have babies like your sewing machines. Thanks Connie This is so interesting…however all this reading will require new glasses.

I was hoping too that you might be able to give me some advice. I'm an occasional sewer. My daughter wants me to make a dress for her for a 1920s themed party - so she wants it kind of flapper style. The thing is, she wants the dress to have some fringe at the bottom so that it will look flapperish but she wants the fringe to be removable so that she can wear the dress again later. Any idea how to make it removable? Hi,
