Disassembling FMIL’s dress
I started disassembling DD#1′s future mother-in-law’s (FMIL, for short) dress today. She had such a beautiful dress, and I am so thrilled she wanted us to include portions of it.

Happenings at the Studio…
We have many ladies emailing to ask where they can purchase the Weeks Dye Works threads that I use in some of my patterns.
