This gorgeous, vintage style dress is the perfect pattern for this floral Liberty lawn from Farmhouse Fabrics. Read more here!
A beautiful new rendering of Wiltshire calls for a new project! Check out this dress I made that was inspired by an Anthropologie dress.
On the search for a new and fresh blouse, I came across the Curcuma Blouse by Tilia Patterns. See my version with Liberty prints!
I let a little hiccup hold me back from wearing this dress for far too long, but a simple modification now has it in regular rotation.

How did you select your buttons? What made you pick that color?
My mom already had these buttons, and I really liked how they looked with the fabric. They are super bright and pop against the brown fabric.

Wonderful job!
Thank you!
I love this. I am teaching my 9-year-old daughter how to sew, with the goal of her making her own wardrobe. This is very inspiring!
