Your top looks great on you. I like the quilting. I may have to make a trip to Gala check out this fabric. Is Dresssew as great as the internet makes it sound????

thanks! Dressew has a great selection for sure, all kinds of fabric, with quliaty ranging from cheap to pretty good. I’ve made tons of garments with fabric from there. Gala always have end of roll pieces on their sale racks so it’s great if you’re note looking for anything special (also check out the $1 pattern box) I like Fabricana in richmond for higher quality fabric (if you’re looking for nice wool or silk fabrics…)
