More Sewing Than Showing

I have been sewing quite a bit - but have been slacking in the photo department. In fact I completed several UFOs but never got around to taking any photos so I didn't submit them in the UFO contest on Pattern Review. Right now, I'm feverishly sewing from my stash and will definitely be making time to photograph and review these items. I need to get this done over the weekend because I will be out of town on business all next week.

It has come to my attention that I don't have a pair of black dress slacks. Who doesn't own a pair of basic black slacks? (Apparently, I don't.) How did this happen? Anyway...guess what's at the top of my list of things to make when I get back in town.

I received my copy of Cool Couture by Kenneth D. King. Has anybody read it yet? What do you think? I just flipped through it briefly, and I noticed that many of the photos are from his old book, but I am hoping that the information is new/updated.

Looking forward to your FO pics. I don't have a black dress and keep telling myself I really need to sew one for that just in case moment.

I don't have the Cool Couture book by Kenneth D. King, but looking forward to your review.

I got King's Cool Couture some time ago. I enjoyed reading through it, but I'm not sure I'll ever try any of the techniques. His methods are a little fussy for my lifestyle. I'd have to make a considered decision before attempting most of the techniques.
