Our Year 12 formal was a festival of taffeta. It's amazing we could hear the music that night.<br />I had an almost identical outfit to yours, in the same colour in the 80s. Mum made it for me to wear to a wedding, and I can remember the cost of the fabric - $21. Thanks for the memories!Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472129226320589172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734794303611926264.post-45786967925275931132017-06-03T15:12:23.212-07:002017-06-03T15:12:23.212-07:00Haha!

I didn't worry too much about the sewing because it definitely was for a party so it was lots of fun to sew. The big gold and pearl buttons I had used on a jacket for myself and I paid a bit for them so was glad to recycle them. The taffeta is flocked too ! It is John Kaldor and I found it as usual from the op shop. It would have been very expensive fabric I'm sure originally and I wondered what the original owners had in mind.

I don't know how you do that !!! But you are very kind and nice to do so but do look after yourself and don't worry about that. I am gentle on my clothes. I take my work clothes off and change into around the house clothes, I hand wash knits etc. But I also keep clothes I think longer than others would and have to be remind myself it is OK to chuck them out. By 10 years shirts are getting damaged but jeans usually only last a few years at the most.

One got trapped in our greenhouse once and I was quite nervous about catching it to release it. They have very large beaks ! But no I think it realised I was helping it and was very quiet. Compare that to the parrots who got trapped and used to sink their sharp beak in my fingers and would not let go even after I had taken them outside and opened my hands to release them !!

I'm glad you said it was for a party ;) I had a dress out of shiny, flocked taffeta and I called it Russell. I'm impressed with your shirt pattern collection and that you've made them all!Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734794303611926264.post-43058948513748014882017-06-03T05:04:33.785-07:002017-06-03T05:04:33.785-07:00Hi Janine, I'd like to follow you on Instagram...Hi Janine, I'd like to follow you on Instagram.

I hadn't noticed the bird pic before(l eavesdrop on your blog frequently to see what you are up to) but I know that old song about the old gum tree- thanks for the memory! And of course the pic- we don't have those in the US so I didn't know what we were singing about.CAN Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760788256009960413noreply@blogger.com
