Alas, being petite, it doesn't take much for anything to make me look like either a tube of toothpaste or a hobbit. One of these days I will have either time or money to use on my poor wardrobe. Right now, just concerned about staying warm and dry, which never looks glamorous! Love the pattern reports you do and have to agree with your pet peeve about independent pattern makers.R.

Oh yes, pity poor Stella.....<br /><br />Cindie, OMG yes, the ape arms, but seriously, if you try any Connie Crawford patterns do check the arm length, I find hers run on the shorter side.<br /><br />Michelle, If I had tootled out there with the camera, thy would have gotten up thinking I was bearing treats.<br /><br />LA, Funny what you catch happening in photos.Stella knew but was too thrilled with being in the spotlight to bother with her pesky brother. She crooked the bone back a little later.<br /><br />Denise, the pants are so different. I love them. I think even in our cold, a vest layer is much nicer than a sweater layer. And a linen vest for down south might be a wonderful addition!<br /><br />mrsmole, I may revisit the vest, but I've deep 6'ed the pattern. I'll modify the CC pattern as needed plus it has a sleeve option! FOV is carrying the whole line of Decades of Style pattern. It's fun to try new things.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-22931024961336060732013-02-05T03:50:42.387-08:002013-02-05T03:50:42.387-08:00Poor you making up what you thought would be a gre...Poor you making up what you thought would be a great fitting vest and Bam...something fails. I made a vest once like that in a home dec tapestry...loved the fabric until it was on a curvy body and it resisted everything I tried to do to tame it.What about shortening the front where you need it, just the front top edge and deepening the armhole? At least being a vest you don't have to fit a sleeve in there. Sometimes long vests need high side vents to hang the best...go Asian and slit the side seams up until the fabric lies like you want.Love the pants pattern! Stella has lessons to learn...but she is too cute!mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-71798274161153033752013-02-05T03:49:06.700-08:002013-02-05T03:49:06.700-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-13924881048237197772013-02-05T01:53:41.053-08:002013-02-05T01:53:41.053-08:00oooh love the pants! vests... they were so very po...oooh love the pants! vests... they were so very popular back when i was sewing clothing, but i did not look good in them at all and so i just don't bother any more. though i have never tried one of the very long ones so popular now. but layering in florida? how necessary is that? she asks when it is currently 48 degrees and blessedly welcomed!denise/deBRAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405581478530578482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-16376266849021715932013-02-04T18:18:59.261-08:002013-02-04T18:18:59.261-08:00Those pants look super comfortable!

The pants I do love as well. I am scoping for a pair online for the summer. They seem to be in style. Creating clothing by hand is such a feat. We knitters frog a lot. Well, I should say this knitter does. Knit, knit, rip out, knit, rip. I recognize that bone thief. One lives in this home, too.
