The Fleet & Flourish Blog Tour : Ali Brorsen

I'm so excited to share the amazing work of my friend Ali Brorsen of Because of Brenna today! The dresses she's made with my Fleet & Flourish collection are some of the most beautiful clothing I have ever seen! Ali first starting sewing with my collection back in late January when she shared a blog post full of Fleet & Flourish creations as part of the Simple Life Pattern Company's one year anniversary. Then she completely stunned me with this amazing dress inspired by my very own Herringbone QAYG pattern!

To share today as part of my Blog Tour, Ali made two more dresses! The first one is so sweet, made using my Swifting Flora in Fond knit for the bodice and quilting cottons ~ Miniments in Unpolished & All Paths in Sunlit for the skirt. I especially love these bubble sleeve cuffs. So cute!!

This final dress is made in Art Gallery Fabrics new AGF Denim and my Roadside Guides in Aster log cabin print. Ali took inspiration from the butterfly display I created for my Fleet & Flourish booth at Quilt Market, and added them as a beautiful detail to this dress!

She used the same print as her dress straps, of course that has me thinking of how perfect this print will be for quilt binding!

  16. Con người bị buộc ràng bởi những nhu cầu vật chất, ý thức và kể cả thể xác. Nam và nữ đều với nhu cầu này, ngoài ra nam giới thường sở hữu khuynh hướng muốn thêm chứ ko muốn bớt do bản năng truyền giống nghìn xưa. thành ra họ bị thôi thúc mua thêm phổ quát bạn tình khác nhau, nhu cầu sử dụng giàn phơi quần áo Hà Nội lan tỏa sự quyến rũ đến người khác dù đã thành hôn.

    bên cạnh đó, trong phố hội tiên tiến và công đoạn bình đẳng giới hiện tại, khi con người tự do lựa chọn bạn đời dựa trên tình ái, cả nam và nữ đều có cơ hội tiếp xúc, lựa chọn phổ thông đối tượng khác nhau.
