I'm making this TODAY!!!! Also, shout out to Andrea!!! Thank you for only helping to create these amazing videos that support a visual learner like me...but I am also on the journey of "unlearning" sewing over my pins. I was taught to leave them in when I was first taught to sew... it's a hard habit to break!
This gasp. I pray will be my first completed make from this year.
I have always wanted one of these, I'm so stoked you released this!! <3
Love it
Palpitations!!! Summer, begone!!
Thank you, Andrea, for sewing for us.
Be still my heart. Wow!
unfortunately I am allergic to Wool. But I can get some heavy weight material that would work instead.
will the long cape go on the back of this pattern? Cause the DRAMA :D
Would a contrast fabric for the bound buttonholes look cool or be distracting?
I love it!! 💕💕 I have some salmon colored wool just perfect for this.
Salmon colored? I can't wait to see it!!
I love it!!!!
