    Hi Deb yes i sew the invisible zipper in along the side before is sew close to the teeth as well. It stops the zipper moving while stitching. Way better than pinning. Enjoy watching your videos. Lyn

    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 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
