BIG! Two big things! New Book First, and you may already know this if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, but A LIFE IN STITCHES, my memoir, is shipping now. Let's pause while I freak out and jump up and down and trip over lawn furniture in my excitement. Isn't it GERJESS? I'm so in love wit...
Absolute knock out! This is a stunning dress and you look equally stunning in it. Magnificent job in matching all the stripes. It takes the dress to a whole new level.
I hope that one day I can match stripes as well as you have!

It's so gorgeous! I love it!
I also have the Oolong pattern and have been planning to use it for my next dress. I'm very tempted to skip the lining as you did. It looks great and you can't tell that it's not lined at all. Fab job!
Like everyone else, I've been so impressed that you've made all of these dresses in under a week. Hope your poor sewing machine gets fixed soon!

Big hugs! She was such a lovely cat.
I know all too well how horrible it is to lose a feline friend but it will get a little better day by day. She was a great friend to you and had a lovely life.
