    I love that hedgehog fabric! Where can I get my own hedgehogs????

    And I’m thisclose to caving on the Myrtle. They’re all great, but I have a fabric akin to the watercolor version that makes me think it would be great for it.

    I am so excited to be featured on here. This site and all of you have been so inspirational for me. Up until recently I only sewed for my daughters and never felt comfortable focusing on myself or my body enough to sew for ME- let alone pose for a picture of it! I am now hooked and it is awesome to find a community of women with similar shapes and sizes celebrating ourselves and our creations. Yay.

      Your dress looks amazing – I’m so glad you felt comfortable to post! And I love the matching lipstick 🙂

    So much inspiration! This post fills me with SO MUCH GLEE. Because I feel weird commenting on a German-language blog, I will say here that Mema’s watercolor Myrtle is one of the greatest makes of all time ever.. and also all of them. All these ladies are radiant in their makes, and it is the greatest thing ever. PS- DEVILED EGG EMERY?! <3

      It sure is inspiring, isn’t it, Laura? I just LOVE the deviled egg Emery! I need some fun prints like that in my life!

    Wow, thanks for sharing! Somehow, I’d missed that there was a flickr group. Everyone has been doing such inspiring work!
