For a first attempt at this beading style, good job! The blouse is so perfectly paired with the skirt, and the whole ensemble is such a great tribute to Maasai style.<br /><a href="http://www.theartyologist.com" rel="nofollow">The Artyologist</a>Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850447706684871976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-83785250823172729072016-07-02T16:19:37.781-05:002016-07-02T16:19:37.781-05:00Just lovely, Emileigh!

Now that's an awesome thing to do with your talents.<br /><br />Also, I have the same blouse pattern as the one you used. I've had my pattern matched with fabric and been wanting to make it since last years' fall (need to get to that)! Did you know that Ruth Warrick was also a Missouri gal? <br /><br />Great review. I smiled when you said you had take out so much from the front - yes, indeed. In the last several months, I have been making a number of other company patterns such as Advance, Du Barry, Hollywood, and even New York, and so far they do not fit at all like a Simplicity or McCall or Butterick. Much too much ease, short waists, and extra length...not a predictable fit, something to look out for, but still great patterns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-9958333517498125332016-07-01T05:31:10.703-05:002016-07-01T05:31:10.703-05:00You did such an incredible job on every element of...You did such an incredible job on every element of this outfit, the beading immensely included. I am seriously doffing my hat to you. This blouse, much like the skirt, is a true work of art that further highlights what a talented seamstress and fashion designer alike you are.<br /><br />Many hugs & happy start of July wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-36097744980505061122016-06-30T17:07:34.041-05:002016-06-30T17:07:34.041-05:00So lovely!

What beautiful beading you did too! I'm so glad we got to get a closer look at the blouse. I didn't know the meaning of the beading, and I'm very excited to learn about it -- thank you for sharing this with us!<br /><br />I hope that any Maasai who saw your outfit would be pleased and proud of your work. :)<br /><br />-- Tegantrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946523756252619505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-90922187569437161192016-06-30T08:17:24.100-05:002016-06-30T08:17:24.100-05:00The level of workmanship in this is wonderful.
