ryansmumAria said... oh my!
That is beyond fabulous! What a lucky daughter you have.
I have never pick stitched anything but a zipper. Can you tell us more about how you got them aligned so perfectly?
You are an inspiration! 5/23/10 2:34 PM
JTink said... This is so smart looking. I second what ryansmum asked, please give us a bit more insight to the pick stitching. It's a bold look, more so than top stitching on the machine. 5/23/10 2:56 PM
MNBarb said... Looks great so far. Can't wait to see the next episode. PS, thanks for the review of McCall's 6124. It gave me all the information I needed to get a perfect fit the first time around. I appreciate the details of your reviews. 5/23/10 4:32 PM
Raye Ann said... andrea, this is wonderful! i second the use of the patterns that allow for different cup sizes. i, too, found that the C cup was more than adequate even though I am a D cup. can't wait to see the finished dress on your daughter! 5/24/10 0:33 AM
