Runrover said... I really like your dress and the fabric. I have seen similar fabric at Joanns and wondered how challenging it was to sew. I have the same problem with necklines -- usually too large for my smaller upper body area.
I can see the FBA class was helpful. I got way behind with the class when things got pretty hectic at work. You did great. 5/11/04 12:47 PM
