[CaliforniaPeggy]

The first shirt I've made in a loooooooooooong time!





:woohoo:

[MrScorpio]

1. Love the color and design

Peggy Love, that shirt is YOU!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear MrScorpio!

Oh, that is just too kind of you, sweetie!

Thank you...

:hug:

[Shine]

2. Oooooh, pretty fabric! The color goes great with your eyes!

I would love a skirt made from that material. It's a nice pattern on the fabric. How cool that you sew! :yourock:

I love your long hair, too. :loveya: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear Shine!

Oh thanks, sweetie!

I'd forgotten I had this fabric, until a few days ago...

You will turn my head with all those very sweet things you're saying!

Yeah, the hair's amazing, huh?

:loveya: :hug:

[huskerlaw]

3. I'm impressed!!

I once tried to sew back in high school and it was an unmitigated disaster!

That looks great!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear huskerlaw!

Believe me, I was also an unmitigated disaster in high school sewing classes!

This is an extremely simple pattern...

Thanks, sweetie...

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

4. That was my favorite, of all the fabric you had...

it reminds me of Hawaii!

:loveya:

p.s., I made the appt. tonight... going Thursday for my white coat anxiety. Wish me luck & thanks for the advice. :hug:

edit: spelling

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear KC2!

Oh, thanks!

Yeah, even though I like the others, this one was by far and away my fav too!

It is kinda exotic, huh?

Good luck Thursday, sweetie...I'll keep you in my thoughts...:hug:

[Tektonik]

5. Do you work at Trader Joe's now?

:hide:

Seriously though I like the colors of the shirt (light blues and light greens are my favorites).

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear Saint Etienne17!

LOL! Nope...

Glad you like these...

Thank you!

Blues and greens are definitely my colors!

:hug:

[malta blue]

8. That is a great design and fabulous fabric Peggy!

AND it looks great on you!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear malta blue!

Oh, thank you, sweetie!

Believe me, it is a very simple pattern!

NO zippers

NO buttons

NO darts

Just pulls over, and you're done!

Thanks for your very kind comments...

And, BTW...are you feeling better today? You did give me a bit of a scare last night...:hug:

[malta blue]

13. I am feeling better today - thank you so much.

I got nervous when YOU were nervous :D

It took over an hour, but I finally got it under control using a tea bag. The doc said it was probably triggered by the heat since we have no AC.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Good, I'm glad!

And right after I asked you, I spotted your update in your thread!

:hug:

[Parche]

14. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy

WOW CaliforniaPeggy Lauren?

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :hi: :hug:






For centuries, Man has looked to the skies and sought to uncover the mysteries of the universe. The telescope brought into focus the craters on the Moon and the canals on Mars, but it was limited, and Man's insistent hunger for knowledge and experience would not be satisfied until he broke the massive chains of gravity and set foot himself on a planet other than his own. CaliforniaPeggy first venture into shirtmaking—a testament to her technical ingenuity and courage, a green light to a hundred other projects which would take her still further.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear Parche!

Lauren? I don't get the reference, sweetie!

And actually, I've been making these shirts since 1972!

I just haven't sewn one in a loooooooooong time, probably 20 years!

I gather you like the pics?

Thanks, sweetie...

:hug:

[Blue Diadem]

17. Very pretty Peggy!

I love the pattern and the color. It looks really comfortable too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear OurVotesCount-Ohio!

Oh, thank you so much!

These are my colors, for sure...

And it is comfortable...

Roomy and breezy...

Perfect for a warm day, like today!

:hi:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

18. Made all the more lovely by the wearer.

That's a superb shirt Peggy!! :hi: :loveya: :applause:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear SalmonChantedEvening!

Ooooh, what a flirt you are!

And I thank you...for that and for all the lovely things you say to me!

:loveya:

:hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

21. Moi? Flirt?

Correct! And now, onto our bonus round...

:D

You're a gem Peggy, that's all there is to it. :loveya:

[bigwillq]

22. Wow that is pretty cool.

I love the color. The design is a little crazy but the color is awesome. Nice going! :) :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear bigwillq!

Oh, thanks, sweetie!

But am I not a little crazy? It all fits! :crazy:

I appreciate your very kind remarks, as always...:hug:

[bigwillq]

24. You are not

crazy...you are a wonderful lady. Well maybe you have your crazy moments, but we all do! :) ;) :hi: :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

25. Hmmmm! How did I know it would be BLUE!???!?!?!

Great fabric pattern! Polished cotton?

Love it, CP!
Looks so crisp and comfortable! :thumnbsup: :hi: :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear Whoa_Nelly!

Well.......it's got some green in there too!

But I agree...

I love this combo of colors!

You know, it might be a polished cotton...has that slightly smooth texture that I associate with it...

It is very crisp and comfortable, just perfect for the warm, slightly muggy days we're having!

It doesn't cling, but stands away from my body and allows the breeze to flow through!

Thanks, sweetie!

:loveya:

:hug:

[UrbScotty]

27. You MADE that, my dear CaliforniaPeggy?

:applause:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear ih8thegop!

Yes, I did!

It's really a very simple shirt...

NO zippers

NO darts

NO buttons

Just the front, the back, sleeves, collar and some facings...

But still, I thank you, sweetie!

:hug:

[krispos42]

29. You made that yourself?

Nice....


If I tried making a shirt I'd be busted by the fasion police!


You, I think, would get a recuitment pamphlet.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear krispos42!

I did!

I've made dozens of these over my lifetime...

VERY simple!

The fabric is what makes it interesting...

I was doing my grocery shopping one day, and I saw a lady wearing a shirt made from the same pattern...

It was boring, because she'd picked a fabric that was boring!

I love bright fabrics...

Thank you, sweetie!

:hug:

[ccharles000]

30. You look lovely.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear ccharles000...

Aw, thank you so much, sweetie... :hug:

[Justpat]

33. So pretty....

You look great in that color. Love it.


:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear Old Broad!

Oh, thank you!

It's always nice to have comments from folks who don't normally comment...

:hi:

[FloridaJudy]

35. Very cool!

I love batiks. The color looks wonderful on you: it brings out your eyes. The earrings aren't shabby either.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear FloridaJudy!

Ah, so that's what it is: a batik!

I've had the fabric so long, I'd forgotten...

Those are definitely my colors, and I thank you for your very kind words!

Glad you liked the earrings...I had some difficulty finding something that would go with so many colors!

:hug:

[FloridaJudy]

39. I'm a quilter

I live in a small apartment with three minuscule closets: two of them are filled with fabric! I probably need to make a few blouses to get rid of the excess. I'll still have enough to make a dozen humongous quilts.

[Angel]

37. A job well done Miss Peggy!

You look stunning in it. I have recently taken sewing back up, had forgotten how much it relaxed me. Well, until I have started making a baby sling for my soon to be born grandchild. I am doubting myself on how well it will hold him and how safe my sewing will be :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear Angel!

Ah, you are too kind!

My mistakes are well hidden!

I'm sure your sewing will be safe and wonderful for your grandchild!

Biggo congrats!

:hug:

[livetohike]

38. I love it! Nice job CaliforniaPeggy!

You look great, btw :hi:.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear livetohike!

Oh, thank you so much!

I had fun getting back into the rhythm of sewing...

You are too kind, sweetie...

My husband was making me laugh!

:hi:

[Fox Mulder]

42. I love that color and that design.

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear Fox Mulder!

You are a sweetheart!

Those are certainly my colors...

And the shirt's design is soooooooo simple!

My kind of shirt...

Thanks, sweetie!

:hug:

[ThatsMyBarack]

44. "If you like Pina Coladas, gettin' caught in the rain..."

You look like a happy tropical-island lady! B-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear danagsk8!

Aw, thanks!

I am mostly very happy...

My husband was making me laugh when he took those...

:hug:
