What I’m not share are the details on the 20+tops, skirts, and dresses that will be on offer in my new shop. 

Beverly: Bought some beautiful fabric in Portugal at Mundo Dos Tecidos (World of Fabric)!  It is viscose/linen blend (~60/40) with a white background and blue imprecise circles.  The blue is like indigo dye and I bought it because it reminds me of the beautiful blue/white Portugese tile and because I think it will be perfect for the dress I plan to make from it.  I plan to draft it myself, but it is very similar to the Style Arc Emerson Woven dress, a style I saw all over Portugal! My version will have short sleeves with ruffles, and multiple tiers.  Also, I won’t include buttons.  I like the look of the collar stand and placket, but only halfway – a V-neck really, but done as a half placket.  I swore I saw this somewhere, but can’t find.

Chat with Beverly’s mom!

I am so excited for this theme – so excited to hear everyone’s best tips! If we are super organized maybe we will compile them.  Or maybe folks can just look at the hashtag – HA!

We are looking for any kinds of tips!  Conventional ones from grandma, controversial ones – no judgement here!, time saving or slow and steady, all welcome.  Could be in the caption of a make, a video, or even a text slide with “just the tip”.
