Love them all. You did a great job combining your scraps. I’ve been eyeing this pattern myself, but it’ll be a while till I can make it.

Mary, you attack the new patterns so fast. I need months to make something from a new Burda. I like your idea of scraps and tops.

thank you so much, the tops sew up so quickly once cut out. I just love finding patterns to use up my scraps. I practically live in tops and jeans for casual wear but its dresses all the way for nights out x
