Adventcalender – pattern Tingry

1 december 2018 Nicole

Recently I was invited to make a dress for Schnittquelle from Germany. The pattern is part of the Advent calendar and is labelled as the pattern of the month. When I saw the pattern I really fell in love with the neckline, a wonderful waterfall with a little ribbon. Perfect for the houndstooth fabric laying in… Lees verder Adventcalender – pattern Tingry

The party outfit 8 juni 2019
