Petal Fairy basking in the sun

Bonjour

It is such a sunny (but coooold!) day in Paris today - I had to take a break between two chapters and lay the Petal Fairy in the sunlight, to finally show you her real colours:


She's definitely taking shape, isn't she?
(again... Sorry for the crumpled fabric... I stitch in hand!)

Consequently, I didn't work on my dress yesterday night... But it's almost done - just needs a few finishing touches (hemming + a trim at the neckline). I love it! I was told she's completely in my style... Which I confess, I quite agree with. That's the beauty of self-made clothes: they're custom-made, in every sense of the word!

What a stunning petal fairy, Isabelle - she is exquisite! I love the "movement" of the petals on her dress. You have been working so hard on her.

We could be called "The Soup Dragons"! I am sure there is some fairy story from my childhood about a soup dragon ;-)

Love Ali xx

Dear Isabelle,
Petal fairy is turning out beautifully. You are so lucky that you can make dresses for yourself. Looking forward to seeing it. I used to try and make them but as I am not a good seamstress I used to hate wearing them after sewing them so I stopped making my own cloths. It is a beautiful sunny day in London too but very cold

Hi Isabelle - I noticed you tagged me! I tried to answer tonight, and had a computer issue when I tried to publish it - argh. Now it is bedtime, but I will try again tomorrow night :-)
