You can't go wrong with any of them. I'm really impressed with the Vogue patterns --- it has been a while since I've looked at those patterns because I've been sewing from Burda, but the details on the designs you are considering are very cool. I especially love that Donna Karan shirtdress!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994553975406806627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-81935297969776876732011-01-13T11:08:37.761-05:002011-01-13T11:08:37.761-05:00I think you should immediately make the upper righ...I think you should immediately make the upper right hand dress (with the accordion sleeves) in the first sheet of line drawings from the Russian magazine because IT IS FABULOUS and you will rock it.<br /><br />I have been salivating over that Donna Karan shirtdress since I saw it.The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-44532937006570035062011-01-12T13:38:27.136-05:002011-01-12T13:38:27.136-05:00I run into that sort of dilemma often!

I think creative minds are always running ahead of themselves. The difference with creative minds is that our creativity is so easily spurred on by the slightest provocation and we want to act on it. Non-creatives don't have this stimulation effect. I say just pick one, any one and get moving, woman!Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-69157692963743806032011-01-12T06:24:19.075-05:002011-01-12T06:24:19.075-05:00No can't help...but am looking foward to seein...No can't help...but am looking foward to seeing your two versions of the Jan Burda jacket (wink)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-66946337458171754682011-01-12T05:21:45.209-05:002011-01-12T05:21:45.209-05:00Thanks for V1233

Do you think small shoulders could carry the Vena Cava dress if shoulder pads were added? I'm asking out of self-interest... :-) <br /><br />My latest thing for disciplining myself is to take a snip of the fabric I'm intending for a particular pattern and attach it to the pattern or image. It seems to make it easier to move my attention back to current projects. But good luck with so much all-at-once distraction!Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091315686616574564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-46739763337567084632011-01-12T03:51:49.437-05:002011-01-12T03:51:49.437-05:00Please tell me where to get the Russian magazine. ...Please tell me where to get the Russian magazine.

But with such a treasure trove of goodies, I totally understand your sensory overload. Personally I think Vogue's site is going to meltdown when they finally load the new patterns! *LOL*<br /><br />But I had a question, how/where did you subscribe to the Stitches Magazines? I've wanted to get them and can't get them from the Universal newstand anymore.

I usually then pick the one item that I know I can wear as soon as it's made - instant (or not so) gratification. Once focused on one thing, everything else sort of falls into place.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960310379822122045noreply@blogger.com
