I'd be happy to offer feedback in return for free patterns. :) Seriously, I just used one of your patterns for the first time yesterday, and it was wonderful! I like your thorough sewing directions, although I did what I wanted and sewed the lining down by hand. I hope to have a girl one day so I can make some sweet dresses. For now, I posted pics of my son's playsuit to my blog and to the flicker group. Thanks for a great day! Elisa Liesl,

Then I can make tracings for other sizes as my little girl gets older and they can all be kept with the pattern.

It's such a lovely item, I'm almost sad to cut it up! Very much looking forward to making the dress and suit for small friends very soon...

I just finished sewing the little Swingset Tunic Top. I must say that I really, really enjoyed the attention to detail in the design of your pattern. I liked the placket and shoulder strap assembly especially. Your patterns cater to the perfectionist seamstress and I was leaping with anticipation to see where you would take me with each instructional step. <br /><br />I check your website regularly for the debut of the fall patterns. You are certainly blessed with many talents and I look forward to seeing more of your creations. Hi, Liesl! I just finished sewing the little Swingset Tunic Top.

I have been at odds as to what to put her in post op (no waist bands) Then I found your website and this great light came over me! hehehe. I ordered 2 patterns the bubble and tea party......are you ready for the best part? I don't know how to sew! LOL BUT I am hopeful that I can learn.
