Good to se you, Michelle. Hope you'll be back with us before too long. Good luck with the exams.

I echo that! I'm looking forward to seeing the remodelled suit! :)

Glad you're back and Good Luck on testing and receiving your license. The suit sounds like a winner, you should be great "fun" reconstructing. I remember as a young child, about 5-6, some 70 years ago, DM did suits for the truant officer in the city school district. She was very slim, but not very tall, an almost masculine figure. She purchased men's suits only at J C Penney's, DM would move the buttons to the other side and make new buttonholes on the jacket, then make slim, straight skirts from the pants, usually with a pleat in the back. She wore very colorful, frilly blouses with the suits and looked fantastic. Since then, I think all truant officers in that district has followed her example of always wearing suits "on the job".

I didn't forget. I just forgot that you seem to think you might not pass it. You're so smart - you won't have any trouble at all.

Thanks to everyone! The test is tomorrow (friday June 9) and I am now extra worried, but I know when it comes down to it that I will be fine, afterall I only NEED 60%, I can do that!

Wish me luck!

Thinking about you! You'll do just fine, I know. Take a couple of deep breaths and have at it!

Indeed! Never forget to breathe... ;P

Move the buttons....check! I didn't even think of that.

Thanks!

How would you hide the buttonholes?

I could just put the buttons over them, or I could get some really cool buttons that are just slightly larger and put those over the holes

Good thing you mentioned that, I didn't think of it.

I don't remember much about that, but thinking back, I believe she used different buttons, since it seemed we always had plenty to make button necklaces for ourselves and our dolls. Emily
