I don’t see the expansion for the 15th though I saw the release post on Patreon.
Hi all. Im late to the party. Cant wait to have a go at this!!!! But, can someone pls let me know what pattern is the beautiful top/dress that Gertie is wearing?
Looks like the Etoile bodice.
Thank you so much for using a high contract thread in the machine. That makes it so much easier to see on camera. The fabric pattern also makes it really clear which is the right and wrong side of the fabric on camera.
Would you consider telling us how many yards we will need to match the plaids for the 15th release so we can order it now as summer days are dwindling down?
This pattern is fabulous! Can't wait to play with plaids and gingham on the bias (love the dress Susie is wearing). On another note, in the previous videos we got to see the final result of the garment on a dress form at the end of the video ; would it be possible to bring that back please ? :-) It's great to see how it comes together at the end ! Thank you
