I don't wear much yellow because I have an olive complexion and I think yellow makes me look a little sickly, but I do like it and wish I could wear more. I think it's a great color on you!

I am not sure about the pleats at the neckline, do they add too much fullness, I am quite bony in that area. I have done very little pattern matching so have chosen a busy print, but it is a skill that I mean to acquire. I do like yellow and love the shoes.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-48386898648923926732015-04-06T10:31:01.742+01:002015-04-06T10:31:01.742+01:00Embrace yellow!

I was a bit worried after the Sewing Bee, where the invisible zip was the enfant terrible of some of the participants. I have used your way before also, for a normal zip. Thanks for the tutorial, it is always good to have a visual guide for when memory fails (bookmarking the page!). This is more frequent than I would like to admit. Have a lovely Easter Monday. xChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.com
