The Avid Seamstress 
Good day to you from the U.S.
I am just finishing up the Gathered Dress pattern for a special granddaughter. She is a young teen and really liked \it at the first fitting. I am making it from a cotton print fabric I have had for a very long time. A deep burgundy red on navy with cream. All the fabric stores that offer fine dressmaking fabric, in my area have closed, only quilting goods. I was so thankful I had this yardage to work with.
The dress with the gathering in the back is really stylish.
Regards,
Frankie Ann McBride
