Copy Cat

Have you ever walked into a store

and said I wish I could copy that?

In the past month I have walked into my

favorite women's shop to just drool abit.

I love their stuff, but it is for skinny girls with 

plenty of pocket money.

I looked at this one top, which cost about

$70.  and I said I can do that.

Of course for some of you, you might not

know that for 25 years I worked as a professional

patternmaker in the apparel industry.

I came home and dug through my fabric stash

and there sat a piece of silk my husband bought

for me when he traveled to China many years ago.

He had been disappointed that I hadn't done anything with it.

So this week I finally took the time to make that top

I saw at the store.  It is simple, but so fun to finally

just do what I am always thinking - be a copy cat.

The rewards have been fun!
