    Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I will get either more of the cotton I already got for lining or another similar color lining fabric and underline the dress. I know that this will turn into an everyday “play” dress right after the wedding, that’s the stage of life this little girl is in! Because of that I want it to be sturdy and hold up…[Read more]

    Hello, Ladies!

    Justsewit, I am hoping that you choose the fabrics that will allow you to do some smocking. Smocked bonnets on babies are just so precious and the time for smocked bonnets is so short. I can’t wait to see what you make.

    EllenMCM and Katybellabug, I am anxious to see your Badminton skorts. I am going to be making one sometime…[Read more]

    Did you have a look at Sarvi’s link @mcholley1? Aren’t they cute prints?! @Sarvi you have such good taste in fabric!
