Happy Monday! Only 12 sleeps until Christmas :)
Thought I would share some more Afterglow and Coastal Breeze sewing with you today.
Here is Lil in the first Afterglow I sewed...it worked out perfectly too - love it when that happens!! She is one happy little girl wearing a "down" (long) dress to bed every night!
Once again, I was on a winning streak and this pattern was pretty much spot on first go aswell. I'm kicking myself now because I LOVE how it turned out, and after wearing it a couple of times, threw it in the wash and the red band bled into the white fabric around it! I had pre-washed the fabric and it still bled. So annoyed. It doesn't look terrible, but still noticeable.
Lesson learned...don't use cheapo reds (or browns for that matter.)
SUPPLIES:

Make It Perfect Afterglow pattern
Afterglow - Alexander Henry, Starflower in Calico

Is it a tattoo?????
You look GREAT in Coatal Breeze. Should have used one of these shots for the cover ;)
...of course, Jaron's sister looks gorgeous too :)
Love the blue stripes and shape of Coastal Breeze. How sad that the prewashed red ran. :(
love them! especially your coastal breeze! it looks great, you can't go wrong with navy, blue and white can you. I'm thinking of doing it all in a solid navy because I love navy dresses!
sorry you get a short summer, ours stretches out to easter and I love summer so much!
try to get your hands on some Colour run remover. Worked a treat on a few of my washing disasters!
hi- re the red dye running onto your white fabric....natural yoghurt! smother it on and watch it work. i know a lady that fixed a quilt with this trick. good luck;)
