I'd be tempted to make a sweet little bolero out of it (but scared to wear something so matchy-matchy)! <br /><br />I also love to hear that you try to improve your technique garment by garment, rather than ripping out the handstitches you consider to be imperfect. It's fun to follow along on your journey, and know that it's a learning experience on both sides.emily.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07770615424918781021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-50084755409621396152010-09-14T14:26:39.927-04:002010-09-14T14:26:39.927-04:00OOH!
