I will definitely be making some paper pattern adjustments before I use the lovely blue sequins, and I'm sure glad I won’t have to remove all the little sparkles before I sew: I may have decided patience will be the name of my game for next year but I'm not that patient ;) And which gold heels are you wearing? The toe capped fancy French ones? Oooh and aaahh! I want a photo of the entire outfit, my dear friend!Stitch Paradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507932694420483821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-42363519827473641072013-12-30T08:06:32.916-06:002013-12-30T08:06:32.916-06:00Thanks, Sam!

It was literally showing up in my dreams at night!<br /><br />A hip curve is a curved ruler that you use when you want to blend one size line to another where that line is a curve, like at your hips or waist. The one I have is inexpensive, and I like it because it also includes a curve for armholes. I got mine at JoAnn's, but here's the Amazon link:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Dritz-832-Styling-Design-Ruler/dp/B001BDEOVG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388186134&sr=8-1&keywords=hip+curve+rulerGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-9130627498636983282013-12-27T16:42:52.480-06:002013-12-27T16:42:52.480-06:00Wow, that's a really glamorous top!
