Cape
and Purses
Chelle brought the prototype of a beautiful satin green with pink
lining cape. It was glorious! She used Butterick Pattern #3185.
Chelle said
there is some green sequin material left over and brought a few
purse patterns to consider. We decided to make them as simple as
possible. I wonder if we can line them in the pink satin?
Our
Website
Everyone was complimenting Chelle on the fantastic job she did on
our website!! It is just amazing and an exceptional work of art.
Thank you Chelle! We appreciate you very, very much!
