My family and I are going to be in NY in the summer and I have already warned them that a prolonged period of time will be spent in the garment district! I love the look of the linen knit.<br />Tamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677719122673211109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-38174136098099310582016-04-27T12:52:20.476+01:002016-04-27T12:52:20.476+01:00Looks like a great trip - I love those silks, now ...Looks like a great trip - I love those silks, now I'm wishing I had a proper look at the silks when I visited Mood recently!

Also very excited to see the Rosari skirt made up in (if I'm not mistaken) some mustard corduroy. I'm planning one just like this, and the fabric is on the drying rack from its prewash as I type! Thinking I will go for a knee length, shortening the midi by about 3inches, as the short really is too short for me, but looks great on you! Glad my pattern-fabric idea translates so well, thanks! <br /><br />Can't wait to see your makes!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04460306037525245477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-20330861507499498122016-04-27T11:29:46.242+01:002016-04-27T11:29:46.242+01:00wow - your fabric haul is amazing! i love love lo...wow - your fabric haul is amazing! i love love love the eyelet. why is good eyelet so hard to find in the uk?Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.com
