Unfortunately they moved the Hancock fabric store to another location and I ended up not having any time to go to the new location, too much out of the way, for the time I had.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-35967375601619973862014-10-20T19:04:42.029-04:002014-10-20T19:04:42.029-04:00Maybe on your business trip you can find some grea...Maybe on your business trip you can find some great fabric to cheer you up. I always find that, if I'm down, a little gift to myself will cheer me up...even if it's just a nap or a couple of hours with a good book. Then you can get back to making lemonaide out of lemons!Miasewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597551802534518767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-35683048035942741942014-10-20T07:34:49.828-04:002014-10-20T07:34:49.828-04:00After seeing your top, it looks as if it would tak...After seeing your top, it looks as if it would take a very lightweight knit to handle all that draping. Thanks for the photo. Moving on to something else seems like a good idea, though frustrating I am sure. Hope you get to fabric shop on the trip. Call it work therapy. :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-28580959010921881562014-10-20T06:35:42.826-04:002014-10-20T06:35:42.826-04:00Thanks Coco!

Life is too short and time to move on to something else.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-86886499364563448992014-10-20T06:34:41.840-04:002014-10-20T06:34:41.840-04:00Thanks Donna!

The top - I have to agree the drape did come out very heavy. Good for you, to put it aside. I've literally tossed several garments this summer, just gave up on them because after much fiddling I just didn't like them! Hope this is a good week for you - CocoCocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784505178222083364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-18663820420754068402014-10-19T19:51:38.532-04:002014-10-19T19:51:38.532-04:00Changes can sometimes you negatively and it can ta...Changes can sometimes you negatively and it can take awhile to adjust. Hang in there and the positive will return. Hope the next garment you sew makes you happier than this top. We all have wadders sometimes.
