But, still, I enjoyed playing with the stripes. :)<br /><br />I love Ivan G. So many cool designers doing interesting things out there. I was inspiration shopping on Saturday (after PenWAG) and saw some beautiful pieces by an unfamiliar (to me) company called Niche.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-59771013541937319912009-10-04T22:44:08.920-07:002009-10-04T22:44:08.920-07:00You did a super job of copying the original. ...You did a super job of copying the original. Not many sewers are aware of Ivan G's interesting styles. I'm a straight up and down figure so I might have to try this. What about lengthening it to a tunic length or dress?Terri Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664663692345724425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-79996950580470114202009-10-02T07:17:36.468-07:002009-10-02T07:17:36.468-07:00Gwen, you are reading my mind!

I think it's wonderful you tried it.gwensewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809115166600229262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-32796031366506687892009-10-01T19:32:17.906-07:002009-10-01T19:32:17.906-07:00Thanks, Christine and Rose!

Rose, have you seen me? lol I have no waist to belt. hehe<br /><br />I am wearing this swishy top around the house and I think it's great for that purpose. I matched the stripes, on both sides, so it was a fun exercise.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-12730634779532319682009-10-01T19:09:07.046-07:002009-10-01T19:09:07.046-07:00Very cool.
