This dress is gorgeous. I love it and I want it.
Anna Maria Horner designed the fabric and her daughter (the model, I believe) designed the dress. Maybe the 90 comments or so on her blog will convince her to sell the pattern to us all. The fabric, called Drawing Room, [...]

Pillows

I’m a bit backwards sometimes. I started sewing quilts first before going on to the more simpler projects… like pillows.

Two down. A million to go.

Somehow I actually got the scarf made for K. I think it’s actually my favorite so far!
