It is a top and bottom all rolled into one! One of my goals is to learn to sew a great dress. But that will be going at the bottom of my to be done list for the time being and quilting will stay at the top.Emily Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876203903783259775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963026736416502396.post-18958006164306273882012-01-12T09:18:45.337-05:002012-01-12T09:18:45.337-05:00I love dresses and skirts.

I'd...I absolutely love dresses, and skirts too! I'd wear them all the time if the weather permitted. But I sure do have a difficult time finding them in appropriate styles. When was the last time you saw a pretty dress with SLEEVES or a neckline that wasn't cut to the navel?! It's really frustrating to not be able to buy them ready-made. Even the pattern companies aren't styling them for modesty. Oh, for "the good old days!"FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963026736416502396.post-85360807896973164312012-01-12T06:38:23.962-05:002012-01-12T06:38:23.962-05:00Yep, pants not allowed for girls in elementary sch...Yep, pants not allowed for girls in elementary school in the late 1960s!
