Congratulations, Shannon!
Shannon won a notion assortment from the Fabric Mart retail store!
Everyone did a wonderful job and this was a difficult challenge to judge!

Made By A Fabricista: A Tipsy Martini Transitional Three Piece Look

A sew such as this is a lovely palate-cleanser and this was the first project I sewed after returning from a cross-country trip. Perfect!
