This was the best fabric to work with, I got it at SR Harris last fall and I love it. Was looking forward to making a blouse but this was perfect for the third dress. Read more here for…

Laurie C. Fowler said… - My first attempt at lining a jacket left me with a lining that was too small for the jacket! Very upsetting! I ended up taking the lining out and serging all of the seams and adding a facing to the areas that needed them. I learned a lot with that fiasco.
