Pink Tea

[jaelie]

I found the fabric for the Pink Tea so underwhelming that I almost didn't do anything or even plan on going. Then Beth talked me into it by mentioning I should just do something really easy, like a Regency spencer or something. I immediately thought of the Curtain-Along spencerino that I love, and remembered how truly quickly that pattern goes

That looks great! I still haven't finished mine yet, so I might be wearing a pink turban after all!

I think if I hadn't hand sewn anything, it would have been done in like six or seven hours, start to finish. I love this easy stuff. Maybe that's why I kind of like the spencerino. It was so fast and easy that I can overlook the fabric and it's now cute-ish in my eyes. Heh.

I think a pink turban would be awesome. This fabric is so underwhelming, I wouldn't blame you one bit.

That looks great! I have such a not-so-secret love for moire!

I'm on the fence for moire. This stuff is sooooo polyester that it feels weird. Maybe if I was able to handle some real silk moire, I'd have a change of heart?

The cotton blend moire is my favorite-- so nice to work with and looks gorgeous! I haven't had the pleasure to handle silk moire-- I assume it's amazing!!!

This is the first moire I've messed with. If the cotton moire is nice, I won't write it off, then, hah!
