Sometimes brilliant white is not the best shade and can even be too white and cream is too yellow. This is just an off shade of white which I really liked so I persevered. Bet I forget to wear it come the warmer weather as there are so many nice tops calling me from my wardrobe.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-52979201304599661122015-02-09T11:46:30.095+00:002015-02-09T11:46:30.095+00:00I guess it takes it in to summer nicely without me...I guess it takes it in to summer nicely without me having to shrug my sleeves up every two seconds.

They usually have to be just so and when I get home, I find myself inspecting for loose threads and snipping and tidying bits to make the garment look complete. I find that if just makes a garment look that little bit more expensive if you're not wafting around with a trail of threads hanging off your hems.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-13424643562704008172015-02-06T06:19:35.977+00:002015-02-06T06:19:35.977+00:00Thanks Michelle.

I believe I was curious about how you made it neat because I'd read an article about hand-rolled pocket squares--your method is similar in some respects. Also it looks very clean, and I'm always about nice hems :)Shutterbug Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753859006730802394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-3245216233265856512015-02-05T19:01:13.544+00:002015-02-05T19:01:13.544+00:00Love the latest trick up your sleeve Sue! ;0) You ...Love the latest trick up your sleeve Sue! ;0) You really are a genius when it comes to these handy, helpful tips!
