I'm back with another lovely dress from Peony Patterns! The Daisy Dress was included in Peony Patterns' first collection earlier this year, but I never had a chance to sew it up. Since I wanted to try another variation of the Iris hand embroidery, this was a great motivation to get Daisy made! About the… Continue reading Peony Patterns Daisy Dress + Iris Embroidery

Knowing that I was about to sew up… Continue reading Ivy & Marigold + Aboriginal Art
