Hello Everybody,

Thanks for visiting us today!I am glad to introduce my very new free sewing pattern:  Jessica Dress.
This pattern has been created in collaboration with  Fat Quarter Shop.  Thank you guys for your support!
Jessica Dress is a simple, flowy dress with lots of personality.
The front V neck flatters every woman’s body by elongate the torso, while the half-moon, cut out back will make people to look twice at this design!
This dress is not only flattering, but also comfortable for an everyday use, with a shirred waistband and a knee length skirt.
