Very cute, and what a bargain! Love T
ReplyDeleteI love the pink and green combinations on the pattern as well as the pink outfit Shelley Hack is wearing. I started sewing my own clothes in Jr. High and continued through my early 20's. I even worked in a yardage dept of a local store which meant I got discounts! I keep thinking I should start sewing again but don't seem to have the time.
