You make the most darling things - and your work looks so professional.  Kudos to you - and thank you for sharing!

Let me say up front that this is my first handbag.  Ever.  I've made baby bibs, baby blocks and skirts but wasn't sure I was up to this challenge.  So I dove right in, using a two fabric remnants I picked up along the way.  I figured I had nothing to loose, but turns out I REALLY like my bag.    It is perfect for summer, big enough to store a waterbottle and an umbrella in, and is like nothing else I see at the office every day.  My mom asked for one, which is like a cherry on top.  C&C's please - I would love your honest feedback!

I have the perfect pair of peep-toe heels for that dress.  *contemplating*
I love the fact that it's sassy without being completely "in your face".

Your swimsuit is amazing.  I love the color and style, and the fit looks perfect!

Your friend looks so comfortable in it!  I like the dropped belt and the fact that you added a pocket for her.  What a wonderful gift for the summertime.

I wouldn't mind getting a head start on brain storming for ideas - I really want to do well as this is my first swap.

I'm so disappointed!  We are baseball people and I would have loved to have done this swap.  But I signed up for the Terry Pratchett (TTTPT) swap and am limited to that one only as it is my first.  I can't wait to see what you all come up with though.  I can't believe all the topics that come up in swaps!

I see that I'm incredibly late to the party, but here goes:
I've teetered between regular and plus sizing for years.  I've done my best to stay out of the plus-sized catagory - not because I'm ashamed, but because that's where buying clothes gets complicated.  I'm a 16-18 tall, hour glass figure.  I wear a 34H on top, and have huge hips.  If I shop in the regular clothes, everything is tight across the chest.  If I shop in women's, everything is baggy at the waist.  Length is an issue everywhere.

Not all chunky girls are short and apple shaped!  I want pants that fit my hips, but that don't leave me with inches of extra fabric at the waist.  Now please make them long enough too.  I want a bra that is pretty and sturdy - (I might actually kill for one of these)!  I want to wear a button down shirt again before I die.

A couple of other things: I want pants that don't taper - but aren't cut wide enough to put both legs in one hole.  I want jackets that fit both in the shoulders and across the chest.  And last (but not at all least), I want a swimsuit with good support in the chest (a couple years ago I was at the beach and had a couple teenagers comment on how much cleavage was showing.  In their defense, it was pretty gross).

I love my body, but clothes often don't love me.  : )

Wow!  Love it, love it, love it.
I'm curious too about the machine you're using.  I think mine would blow up if I brought that vinyl anywhere near it...

It's so pretty.  It's almost like the white version of the little black dress!
