This gorgeous pattern looks far more difficult than it is to assemble. From the very first piece to the stunning finish, it’s one that will glamorize any ensemble and will no doubt be a favorite wardrobe accessory for many years. Endlessly possibilities!

This is a great pattern. Easy to download, prices printed at the right size. Everything came together perfectly. Chris has a wonderful step by step pattern. And the tutorial Chris has takes you through every step. And the fact that Chris did the tutorial on a domestic machine is just the inspiration needed. Can't wait to make one for my friend.

Just cut out faux using this pattern but haven’t started sewing it yet.
