    So many awesome garments!
    Sewmanju, I love your blouse! Busy Lizzy, This is the first pair of the Hudson pants that looks good (sorry- that pattern just doesn’t make sense to me).

    And I LOVE those blouses by In Living Color and Living In Color.

    I’m impressed with everyone’s sewing.
    My favorites were Cookin’ and Craftin”s Lisette dress and Melissa’s swim suit.
