 | This is a tan silk blouse which I embroidered with mums
        from Best
        Embroidery.  I saw a similar jacket at SteinMart on a
        snoop-shopping trip recently.  I used Louise Cuttings' "By
        Popular Demand" blouse pattern.  The fabric was purchased
        from Fashion Fabrics Club on the internet. |

 | This is the back view.  I did a little editing of
        the designs, but not much. It is a very versatile collection.  I
        did not put any designs on the sleeves.  I embroidered the fabric
        first then cut out the pattern pieces.  That's the easiest way for
        me. | 
    
      |  | Before starting on the blouse, I made this pillow to
        test the designs on silky fabric.  It turned out quite well and
        looks good on my bed. |
