It's a joy to wear (and twirl in)! <br /><br />Don't you wish pattern companies would do a better job with envelopes? There are so many patterns I've sewn, which turned out infinitely better than the illustration had me believe. My biggest envelope pet peeve is when they use a print that hides the line of a garment. I love great fabric, but when buying a pattern I love a clear design better!Mary Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375674341038153250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337174006238935251.post-81501514243184420762012-03-23T21:27:04.809-05:002012-03-23T21:27:04.809-05:00I love white with fresh colours like your mint car...I love white with fresh colours like your mint cardy.
