Your have sewn Mrs. Rose a beautiful blue one that truly does match her beautiful eyes. How clever of you to use the pattern back in miniature to cut and sew her housedress.

I want to learn to sew clothes but have trouble reading the patterns. Any suggestions.

I am amazed at the infinite detail in your creations! I love the blue of the fabric you chose for Mrs. Rose. many times when I need a tiny scale print, I scan my original fabric and then scale the print, finishing by printing on Printed Treasures printable fabric. I've previously used this many times and can attest to its quality. Just wanted to share. I am enjoying every minute of your creativity.

I made myself a few of them, but sleeveless, while I was pregnant w/my older daughter. They were soooo comfortable, and cool. This was in Las Vegas in the summer, and I think I made them in seersucker. Mrs. Rose is coming along beautifully. I really like how she's looking up at you in the mirror with so much love in her face.<br /><br />xo LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-63583724791914843552013-05-03T08:52:51.859-05:002013-05-03T08:52:51.859-05:00Amazing!
