I've always loved the look of Marcy (and Katherine) Tilton patterns. I know they aren't for everyone, but I love her aesthetic. When I see a picture of her designs, I instantly know it's a Tilton! I purchased V9112 years ago when it was released, but couldn't decide on a fabric choice until I stumbled on … Continue reading V9112 Bouffant Ladies
For every article of clothing I make, I like to see other sewists' versions of the same pattern.
