Hello and welcome to our February Flickr parade!
February sure did fly by, didn’t it? I know I planned on sewing a few more things this month, but a project I started early in the month took up most of my sewing time, so I didn’t make it down as far on my sewing list as I had planned to. You certainly can’t tell that it was short month when you look at all of these fantastic garments. All I can say is WOW! Our ladies of the CSC sure have been outdoing themselves this month!
Look at these foxy ladies in their knit dresses!

Do you want to be a part of the fun? Join our Flickr group!
Note: I can only include names of patterns if the Flickr user adds them to their photo’s description.
Hi, do you have to do anything other than join the flickr group and post a photo to be included in the parade?
No. Everyone who posts a public photo in our flickr group is included in our monthly flickr posts. There are deadlines at the end of the month for submissions.
Your pants will be in the Trouser challenge photo roundup
thanks
I love this group! Such an inspiration.
A wonderful array of items. Some great inspiration there.
I was asked to participate in a local Victorian fashion show/festival on the 21st! So I am busy whipping up an 1880s bustle afternoon dress. Whew!
THAT BUSTLE! *Swoon*
Thanks! 🙂
