    Welcome back Carole, 🥰that's a beautiful Lutterloh blouse! Gorgeous fabric choice. Your daughter looks magical in her Magic Dress! I'm making N6217 for the 1st time today. Yours is wonderful with the pocket. I am making bias tape out of my fashion fabric to finish the neckline. I love the purple/pink color blocking shirt. Great use of scraps. Chris, Andra and Agata gave you some wonderful gifts! Very, very thoughtful gifts! Happy Birthday 🎂 and congratulations 🥳🎉 on the 5K subs milestone! You deserve it! So AWESOME!!!! 💖💖

      Thanks Grace for all the wonderful comments and good wishes. I certainly was spoilt on my birthday this year and Chris did so well without any help! I reckon you will take one hour to make 6217! It is a great basic pattern though and can be changed up so easily. It won't be long before you get to 5k I know, you still have a great inspirational channel and I still can't get over those closures on your Rust top!! Hope your weekend is going well xx💗💗

A white tee is just a must in a wardrobe isn't it? The touches you added to the New Look 6217 top, make it look so neat and professional. Such lovely and thoughtful birthdat gifts - enjoy them Carole. Beautiful pics!!!!! I just melt when I see a palm tree 🌴. Enjoy your week Carole!!

      My oldest Grandson so wanted to see a palm tree from our hotel room and he was so pleased when we had a whole array of them! I always think of a very old film when I see them. Not sure if you would know what I mean but it is 'Some Like it Hot'!! ( One of the best films ever)
