I've tried dark brown (looks like a Canadian parks services uniform) and pale grey (custodian) before settling on black (metro cop).<br />Navy is a fantastic choice with your colouring.<br />VivienneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-72836037204253931082009-07-01T11:23:42.809-04:002009-07-01T11:23:42.809-04:00Congrats on Knip Mode, and don't stop going ro...Congrats on Knip Mode, and don't stop going rogue!

The last time I was there the cashier charged me for 'long sleeved' shirts (3.99 ea) even when I had a lot of short sleeved ones (2.99 ea), but what the heck, I didn't say anything either. I've never found fabric there but curtain panels at $1.99 are actually better.laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174697892947430149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-45577473769436933172009-06-30T16:13:27.459-04:002009-06-30T16:13:27.459-04:00Nice haul.

Their dresses are just too cute! <br /><br />I am always having to revise my project list too because there are just too many cute things that are begging to be made. It's hard for me to get to the things I want to make for myself because I have four children to sew for, and I feel selfish if I don't sew for them as well.<br /><br />www.sewingwithtrudy.blogspot.comTrudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649677045881448393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-85941677858088890832009-06-29T10:24:31.618-04:002009-06-29T10:24:31.618-04:00Those are nice buttons - and you're right - yo...Those are nice buttons - and you're right - you can't haggle with Goodwill.
