    Hi Erin! Great make 9 goals. Thank you for the reminder that I really need to make up my liberty fabrics this year! I appreciate the nod to the I2S fisterra top. I had really only seen the dress pictures and I don’t wear that many dresses so I had dismissed that pattern, but the top would be really cute. I recently bought 10 yards of a cotton lawn off Fabric Marts Sue’s deal for like $3/yard so I can toile several things and hopefully they will be wearable

    I hate wrap dresses that look with the stitch in too hun!!
    Yes he’s threads
    Your zip is inserted like a vintage set up… they put theirs in the side a lot eh. And they never have it open in your arm… definitely have it fitted in eh!
    I understand the whole - don’t think it will fit … it looks gorgeous on you!!
    I have to do my zip on the right hand side cause I’m left handed and struggle when the zipper is on the left 🤣🤣
    I sew mine in the same way.
    I have a left foot and right zipper foot.
    That viscoe twill has a lovely pattern
    Holy sanders fabric is nice and pretty.

    I do love how I learn from your experience. I love the new dress and the inner waistband makes such sense. I also completely agree with you about stitch placements on wrap tops- I hate when it’s obvious. Sounds like it’s worth measuring pattern pieces before cutting this particular pattern out. The Fabric Godmother Fleur has gaping low armholes- I was devastated as I used special fabric. Learnt my lesson on that one. About to make my Bestie bag too!! Happy New Year😊. Lynne
