I also got to speak with her and let her know I read good things about her from your blog. Thanks so much for recommending her. If I get to go next year, I am definitely taking more of her classes.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653700178942627323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-10463676492223720642013-11-25T04:37:42.255-05:002013-11-25T04:37:42.255-05:00Great dress.

I was very tempted by the pattern but as I'm just returning to sewing I think it might be a bit beyond my skill level at the moment. I'm still figuring out basic fitting adjustments I need. So this will go on my someday list. :-)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155500364598716746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-54022318900728390552013-11-21T13:05:59.443-05:002013-11-21T13:05:59.443-05:00Glorious.
