@vanahsa, I’m so glad you’re excited! Keep us posted on your progress. And we love Madrid and Barcelona!

I would like to know if there is anything I should do in a different way as it is explained in order to make french seams in my gallery tunic. I have already made a gallery tunic and I had some trouble hemming it with the french seams. This time I wanted to know what to do before going with french seams again. Anyway, I have had zero sewing time…[Read more]

I’m excited that we’ve reached the point where I can more easily try on pieces of the tunic. I loved this placket consteuction on the lullaby layette, so I’m excited to see it here!

I noticed something unanticipated last night. When doing the FBA, I didn’t think to account for the pleat in the front when the placket is sewn, so my darts that…[Read more]
