More Pattern Testing!!!

The other day I received an e-mail from Laurie Dewberry asking me if I was willing to do some more pattern testing! I would have to be on something to say no, right?!?!?!
I immediately said yes, and anxiously awaited the arrival of these gorgeous fabrics.
The pattern was for a bag and a super cute one at that. It was different from any that I had made before so I was very excited to get started! I got everything all pinned and cut and ready to go when I realized that I didn't have enough cording for some pieces. Darn it! So, I had to postpone finishing until this morning when I could get to the store.
But, it is now finished and it is AWESOME!! My 2 year old calls it, "MY pretty!" and carries it around the house. Every time I take it away from her, she sneaks it back. I guess that's a good sign!
This pattern will be coming out with the skirt pattern that I tested here. Definitely keep your eyes open for it - it's worth the purchase :)

AMAZING!!!

As I mentioned before, I was a pattern tester! It was for Joel Dewberry, and the amazing things that they have there!! In fact, if you go to this link here, you can compare what I made to what it was SUPPOSED to look like...how'd I do?!?!?! I'm actually really excited to make another one! Now that I had time to try it out, I can make the next one even better! My favorite part is the pleated bottom...I would love to make a dress for my daughter out of just pleats :) :) :)
It was an absolute blast to make, and they are such amazing people to work with! I'm not sure when the pattern's coming out for purchase, but it's a great one to have for any collection!
I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
