This is what I wore to church on Easter Sunday. Yup, finally finished that jacket. Sorry about the grouchy face, I really wasn’t in a bad mood. See? Smiling. I’m quite pleased with how the jacket came out, except that there still…
I finished sewing this dress the other night. It’s definitely one of the most challenging patterns I’ve ever made. However, the gleam in hubby’s eye when he first saw it on me made it all worthwhile. 😉 I’ve seen several photos of…
