Update on the #DesigninDecember Sewing Challenge!
Whoo Hoo! I have decided on my #DesigninDecember outfit … well the top anyway! This is my Designer Inspiration! A Pucci Printed Poplin Tunic Dress!

Sewaholic Yaletown – #sewtogetherforsummer Wrap Dress
I’m done! Just in time for the sunshine too! This was an easy pattern to make. I love it! I’ve made a Sewaholic Yaletown before here. It was even easier this time as I already had the pieces traced and was very familiar with the pattern. So when @rocco.sienna, @sewsarahsmith and @sewing_in_spain announced their Instagram…
