I tend to gravitate naturally towards making all my own dresses and skirts, but I would struggle with tops and cardies (for a start, I don't knit!).Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570545194570856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-16182315473974135252011-01-05T02:38:22.868+00:002011-01-05T02:38:22.868+00:00McCalls 5661 has the sleeve to that top, although ...McCalls 5661 has the sleeve to that top, although I've seen just that shirt in vintage patterns (although the only one I can think of is Lutterloh from the 30s right now).

Since I've become a student I've had to hang up my shopaholic hat as I simply can't afford to buy new clothes all the time and previously I have bought so many clothes that I've never worn that in my heart of hearts I know the new clothes aren't worth my money and I'm trying so hard to reel myself in! I admire you a lot for doing this, good luck!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894330922060597484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-29943484454925249922011-01-04T17:41:17.796+00:002011-01-04T17:41:17.796+00:00Hi Carol, I'm pretty ruthless when it comes to...Hi Carol, I'm pretty ruthless when it comes to getting rid of clothes so "one in one out" would be pretty easy to stick to. I may start it after the 6 months are up. x <br />Thanks Kate, yes you're right, it didn't occur to me before, they are pretty similar! I'm thinking of buying a Japanese pattern book anyway so that may well have to be it.

It's only easy when you find the perfect something you've been after for ages, otherwise it's a real boot-camp rule.<br /><br />Carol xCarol Seatoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515231968365164280noreply@blogger.com
