JCrew copy

This is the look I was going after. Little silk top for $120 at JCrew.
This is the look I got. Simplicity 3742 with silk I got in Bangkok eons ago. A little blue detail on the arm facing..........and a cute neckline. All for nada out of my sewing stash. That certainly works for me. PS It is now in my etsy shop....

wow! :)

seeing the price of the J. Crew original explains why the khaki pants were $23 at a consigment store!

(i got them for $7, 70% off, but i still thought that was a lot for used khakis!)

I love handmade stuff. Course now I walk around saying, hey mom can you knit this for me? She laughs and tells me she will teach me. lol

Wow - that's great! Very cute shirt! I wish I could sew. It might be worth the money to learn!

Ugg... I want one, but can't sew a lick. If you decide to sell these on Etsy, I'll be all over it!

This is so pretty. But when I look at it, I just feel cold. Need heat. Need sun. Send some over here?
