Thank you for having me Liesl and Rachel! I am excited to see everyone’s finished product.

Brittney and Rachel, thank you so much for all your hard work on this!

Happy Friday! The fifth and final day of the sew-along is now up.

Thank you for the photo, @liesl! Very helpful! I’ll try this way.

@mariajsanroman, I love French seems too. They give such a nice finish, but they can indeed offer additional challenges. I’ll post a photo of a Gallery Dress I sewed.
