    Fantastic shiprob. The blue of the jacket brings out the blue in the dress fabric.
    What a bargain you had with your material purchases.

    I would love to be able to dressmake. Im really not that clever nor do I have flare.
    I'm trying so hard to be thrifty, but it doesn't come naturally. You lot are an inspiration!
