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!
