Wash and iron your Romper before altering... while this line dried rather well, it looked much better with a touch of the iron. For $14, this top has details that I really LOVE! Sleeve tabs....they seem to annoy me for some reason... until I turned the tab around on itself...it gives a more classic finish to the sleeve. the back piece comes around and under the arm...to meet the princess line seams on the front I love the deep pockets that are set at this same position...not right on the side, just pushed forward a bit! First step - cut out the seam that joins the back to the front in the crotch area! You don't need that bulk when you sew the new front and back seams! This is the front....there is just enough here to extend the front seam down to the hem edge. This is the back....when I extended the centre back seam down to the hem edge...there is much more to cut off! Just sew straight down to eliminate the curved part of the back seam! ...

Technically :) I LOVE DENIM. I think I might have told you that before. In all styles, in all shades....even chambray which is the lighter version of denim. This year DENIM IS HOT! Vogue reported that Denim was a major trend in the Spring 2015 runway shows! Best Spring 2015 Denim Trends! While browsing in the Anthropologie store in Oakville... I saw THIS ! (photo from the Anthropologie web site) Oh my, I was in love...but look...it's a romper. I have to tell you that while in my youth I may have run around in a romper so similar to this...but it was YELLOW (OMG did I just say that, I even have a photo to prove it) , there is no way I am going to wear a romper now, even if it is the perfect chambray. My frien...
