Such an inspiration - its no wonder people love it so much!!<br /><br />And you should join the challenge if for no other reason that you need to do things for yourself every now and again to maintain the love for what you do - burn out is bad!<br /><br />There are so many options and so many characters that I wouldn't know where to start - but thats an interesting idea! Might make a suggestion post next week - keep your eyes out!<br /><br />And thank you for the feedback on my work :)Beccie Leathley (Sew Retro Rose)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02088942931608827770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281220105765950860.post-60026636618869631082013-02-15T12:58:45.606+11:002013-02-15T12:58:45.606+11:00Hi Beccie -
I absolutely love the Mad Men Challen...Hi Beccie -<br /><br />I absolutely love the Mad Men Challenge. Although I have not seen the show in quite some time - I do adore the dresses/costumes. I'm seriously considering joining in on the challenge - but I must admit, its been a very very long time since I've sewn anything for myself. Always for others. Also, I'm hoping to find a pattern that is similar to one of the dresses and then I can alter the design. Anyway, I will do a little research and decide in the next couple days. I'm open for any ideas or suggestions you might have.<br /><br />P.S. - the outfits you've made are absolutely beautiful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04342216841244266796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281220105765950860.post-8508125041553640682013-02-14T16:33:18.777+11:002013-02-14T16:33:18.777+11:00Really!!!!!!

I'm hoping to get some at Rathdowne Fabrics (the place I got that voucher from)...I hope they don't charge $50 a metre or something ridiculous like that. <br /><br />Is your blue as dark or lighter than Joan's dress?<br />It will look fab in any shade I think :-) And suit you perfectly!Eszhttp://kittysdrawings.comnoreply@blogger.com
