either way, looking forward to seeing what you can do.
You are right, sorry! I am not actually ready to show yet. Still working on stuff and just not sure what I want to share yet. However, I have been too busy to explain to you guys. Next time I'll just do it all without the tease.
Again sorry guys!!!! I actually know better.

I met with a mutual friend last night and she told me she saw some of his stuff in person and they are quite nice..............
Clay, no one is especting you to do an Ad Campaign type thingie before you show the pieces,
this is the DIY section, so amatuer type pics are fine, I myself posted here because the stuff I made were not for my collection, but just for personal enjoyment/ vacation.
I am looking foward to seeing the stuff.............“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”

Originally posted by duncan_Linen shirt looks great, what sort of button are they clay?I like them alot.
Laconic, no problem with the photos. Its funny seeing them all big like that.
So its a beginning. I love the coat and shirt. I wear the cardi all the time. I made that last October/November. Yeah you can see some references of the people we love on this site, but no surprise there.
The sewing is getting much better. I'm working on another linen shirt now and just got the eyelets embroidered today. The workmanship is improving. * I don't know what up with the shoulder on the shirt, looks like it got stretched. I tried it on a friend it looks the same. So I just remade the pattern. I also made a pattern last night for a stand collar shirt also. Will post more next week. I'm actually enjoying sewing, well almost anyway.

Thanks Zamb! Like I said, I'm getting back into the groove. Just hard to commit to what to make once you realize you can make more than you thought. Shirts and jackets I like so I plan to do more of those. Simple with a few details, some almost no detail at all. But The fabrics are the fabrics I really like and have collected for years.Fabrics are key with this stuff.
