Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This isn’t my usual colour or style or pattern company, but it’s so much fun to try something different for a change! I ended up prickstitching the lining edges the whole way around, and also finishing the hem with some pretty lace tape which added some couture touches.
There’s a great back story to this dress, too, which you can read about on FehrTrade.com!
