      Thank you April for the compliment and birthday wishes! Happy birthday to you as well!!! I hope you enjoyed your day. You should definitely make this dress, it’s perfect for the spring and summer. I gained new knowledge about button holes after this dress. You’re skill set will only grow after taking on new sewing challenges. You got this!

    Girl this dress is beautiful, and I love the way you styled it both ways. You have inspired me to make this dress I have the pattern but just haven’t tried it but I will now. Great job you always do such beautiful work. I have made about three maxi skirts using your maxi skirt tutorial and they each came out beautiful, Thanks for your creativity and talent.

    I love your work and the way you teach. I was wondering do you do any no-sew projects, for those of us who do not have a sewing machine? I would love to see a no-sew Maxi skirt from you.
