This client decided to change it up with some oatmeal linen that she prewashed to soften it up. She wanted to do french welting instead of piping. French welting is a 2″ strip of fabric folded in half and ironed and sewn in the seams with tucks made in the corners.
She also wanted a boxpleat skirt all the way around the base with the legs showing as much as possible.
Love the oatmeal linen!

Side note…so tonight I bribed my 6 yr old (or maybe he bribed me?) to let me cut his hair, it was nasty and bedhead in the back and shaggy. He loves baths… he takes like three a day, so he had asked me to take a bath with him (bathing suits required of course). I told him I would if he let me cut his hair…..HE SAID YES!!!!! Halleluiha (however you spell it)!!!!
