    All so beautiful! Indeed everything worth boating about!

    I am very excited to see yours Heidi!

    My best?? I not sure which would be my best, hhhmmm. This is favorite dress so far http://www.flickr.com/photos/mama_knowles03/8622614667/in/set-72157633130101548

    If not for Tamara I would not have been able to make it for Sarah.

    I like all the clothing previously posted. The Secret Agent Trench is cute, Nicole. I love that pattern. I just finished the Art Museum pattern and I love it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/66494254@N06/9951708354/in/photostream/ I like complex patterns like the School Photo, the Secret Agent, the Fairytale and now I love the Art Museum.

    Oh blooming heck Sharon! You have me blushing again!! That was your own beautiful work, I just answered questions and applauded (still) a job well done!

    I don’t have a stand out but I am especially proud of the welt pockets on Noah’s vest I made yesterday. Believe it or not that was only the second time I have used this technique and here I was thinking I was an experienced sewist!

    Jennifer I also like the challenge of complex patterns. Ok, I own up, I think my favourite piece so far would have to be the denim School photo dress with the Italian smocked bodice

    I have visions of doing this dress again but using a piecing technique. I may have to size it up first though.

    I LOVED that dress Tamara,. Did your daughter ever warm to it?

    Not really Lightning. I pulled it out this morning and found the zip is damaged and will need to be replaced. I was wanting her to try it on so that I could see where I needed to adjust and resize in the pattern – length definitely.

    It is a real shame but I think it was because it was denim. Mind you I made her one in pink corduroy and she didn’t wear that one a lot either. I feel inspired to do some creative techniques on it after watching that craftsy class. I think it would be a perfect pattern.

    I loved that dress, too, Tamara. I want to make that pattern again. I have been pondering fabric choices. I want to use something with texture.

    Jennifer, I love the Art Museum combo on your girl. It’s really elegant.

    And justsewit, i agree with Lightning, the smocking on that dress is so unusual and looks fantastic in the denim.

    Jennifer, I love that outfit! She looks like she’s ready to go off to work at Vogue Jr or something. And Tamara, the smocking is really outstanding!

    Yes I agree Jennifer, that outfit on your daughter is really lovely – I remember my mum had a pattern very similar when I was about ten years old and pleading for her to make it. I still love the style.

    Thanks ladies! Re smocking I just purchased an e book with video on Canadian Smocking which I have always known as lattice smocking. It has a few rather interesting designs I think would be not as complex to do as it would to look at once finished. But I do love Italian smocking after doing that dress. Unfortunately it is the only finished piece I have managed.

    Keep in mind though this was a competition piece. I need to think more like that for everyday sewing I think.

    Thankyou! Well in that case then Sharon, I will have to dig out the pattern.

    That denim dress is my favourite of all your sewing Tamara. Absolutely beautiful.

    Sharon, you did a marvellous job of the smocking on Sweet Peas dress.

    Gorgeous outfit Jennifer.
