Zoe's new dress!

Zoe's new dress!

and at last Zoe’s new dress is complete!  In the end our beautiful dressmaker friend did the lion’s share of the sewing as well as the cutting out.  I just did the hand stitching and made up the lining, and Zoe did sweet not-much-at-all, except be fitted!  But she is very happy with the result, so that is the main thing.

Thankfully she had some shoes that go with it, and a little flower for her hair.  Needless to say, we threw away the pattern because we will not be attempting another dress like this!  But I should say thank you to Bernina for the free pattern and a bigger thankyou to Suz who made it all possible.

Have you ever bought sour dough bread from Murratti?  It just looks so pretty!
