Putting in the perfect collar.

I thought I would add the collar stays to Bri's shirt as a surprise. Pretty easy actually.

And, I sewed them shut. You know, those bad boys always come out in the washer anyway, so this way, they should be all set.

Also, I wanted to post this skirt I finished a couple of weeks ago. I learned quite a bit making this skirt. It is a wool back piece that has lace glued on it. It came that way, and I just love the look of the fabric.

I did an exposed zipper on the back with that super thick fabric, and I bought the thinnest silk habotai lining, so that was a challenge marrying those two fabrics together.
