No custom frame for me! If I have toe overlap (likely), it hasn't been a problem (but now I'm curious...).

Like you, I think I will add them to suit my preferences. Your entire outfit looks really gorgeous. And, I imagine, with the beautiful fibers and fabrics you used, it feels amazing to wear.

I just started sewing 1 1/2 yrs ago from girls clothes sewing but now I'm really into sewing my clothes. Yes, because I can't find perfectly fit clothes!

The blouse is just divine and bravo on sewing such tricky fabric, and sewing it so well. <br />Forgive me if it's rude to ask but do you ride a 700c wheel? I imagine toe overlap would be a problem in a frame small enough, or is your Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897144.post-40617440596164380252014-05-26T21:00:15.358-07:002014-05-26T21:00:15.358-07:00Nicole, you look lovely!

You have mastered fit and silhouette for your body...your outfits always look so balanced and flattering! I haven't sewn with silk for so many years. The print on your fabric is sooooo beautiful...and I now recall what drew me originally to sewing with the lux fabric. Absolutely gorgeous patterns and Sue @ A Colourful Canvashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509898677660889672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897144.post-32734178388278427792014-05-26T17:52:17.976-07:002014-05-26T17:52:17.976-07:00I love this outfit!

I want to find some favorite pants just like those, but I am one foot taller than you, so these may not work for me....I sew for the same reasons you do, but I lengthen instead of shorten. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04438826941023265647noreply@blogger.com
