I have been sewing since I was 9 yrs old, when I started to make my own Barbie doll clothes because my mother didn't have time. She taught me machine basics to begin with and the love affair was on from there.

I am not great at puzzles, but it was fun to try and make the most of this pattern, avoiding spots, and trying to use as much of the red patches as I could.
