It looks better on me than on the mannequin, but I never take photos of me if I can possibly help it! The stretchy synthetic fabric was the devil to embroider neatly and I should have used some stabilizing fabric to stop it puckering, but overall I think it’s pretty cute.

  2. That's really strange. I don't know why it's not up there. You can subscribe to the posts. The button is on the right hand side, under the header.
