That's a great idea Trish! Also thanks for adding that a one layer skirt is better for summer wear. I'd wondered if I needed 2 layers for 'stability'. You read my mind on that question. :)

Hi Lisa. I'd make a sample of the embroidery if you have a bit of the jersey left. Then hold it or pin it to the front to give you an idea of the change it would make. I love the idea of the climbing daisy pattern, and have to get round to making a skirt myself to go with AC top I put on MAGAM. I will probably do the Angie's Garden design on that if I can, though I would like a one layer skirt as two is too heavy for summer. TS

I've been intrigued with the Alabama Chanin handwork and styles for the past couple of years and I probably wouldn't buy that rtw either (couldn't afford it!!!), but then so many of the things I sew for myself I probably wouldn't buy off the rack.... yet love them more than what I can/could buy off the rack. Does that make sense? Sewing has helped redefine my 'style' and now when I look at women's clothing in the stores.... I don't like anything! :) Thank you for your kind compliment! These are my favorite 'neutral' colors.

Thanks for your input Sarah Liz! That's where I'm not sure either. Guess I'll still think about it.

The top outfit is stellar! I love all your clothes, but the colors of your "goin' to chuch" ensemble are really nice on you. As for the embroidery question...I think doing an AC project would be fun, only if I had a designated outfit for the piece ( plain blouse, and linen vest etc). I am drawn to that handwork but I never buy that style of RTW in boutiques.

Buster certainly understands the cooling principles of plants. He's lovely.

I am not sure about the embroidery on the skirt - if you love it as it is, maybe leave it. You can always add embroidery anytime if it feels right to do so. Or when it gets shabby and worn and you want to play with it.
