You did a marvelous Job as you do with all your creations.
So nice! Thank you! XO
So happy for you Rosy! I know you will do well!
Thank you so much Gayleen! XO
Love this take on the Katie! I think I’ll try it again in a ligther fabric like this. I like your thinner binding on the hem as well. Being from Vegas, the mountains are what I miss the most from the west coast. š
I’m so glad you like it, I almost forgot I used the bias binding instead of the hem facings! That’s awesome you’re from vegas! I’ve never been but it’s closer now so I’ll have to check it out! The mountain are beautiful! XO
So happy for you Rosy!!! This dress is fabulous!!!
Thank you again Brenda, you’re so sweet!!! XO
