I'm not much of a scrapbooker, but I'm trying now after the birth of my daughter. I participated in a scrapbook page swap to help get some layouts done, and here is the one I submitted to the swap.
So this is the first time I've sewed from a pattern in EONS! I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, but there were a few trials along the way. Learned NOT to sew ribbon with a dull needle, and also had hem the lining a second time as it was hanging below the dress.
