Thank you! I try to share what I would have wanted to know. Tasha Puppy deserves HER gown. 😊

[@christineb5232]

Its wonderful. Its a barbie dress that you made your own by using your cute puppy as inspiration

[@aperfecttouch]

Thank you so much! 🧡🖤🧡

I love your beautiful Tasha! It’s been over nine years since we said goodbye to our shepherd, and we still miss her. I’ve always had a soft spot for German shepherd dogs.

[@aperfecttouch]

She is so sweet and so smart and fun! I'm happy you enjoyed her!!

[@jackiejames4551]

Now you need to make Sasha Puppy a matching bandanna.

[@aperfecttouch]

Great idea!! With black lace?

[@jackiejames4551]

@@aperfecttouch of course, and black cutouts of you.

@@jackiejames4551 Heavens! What a cute idea!!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

It looks SO GOOD!! Well done! I love the color of that fabric so much. And I had to laugh at the pleating debacle 🤣 just goes to show how different brains can approach a problem in totally different ways...the idea of measuring all those pleats! Blows my mind 🤯 (but they look amazing!!)

[@aperfecttouch]

Thank you!! Yours is fabulous!! Pleating....heavens!! *faint*

[@aperfecttouch]

And I'm an INTJ. :)

[@mele9952]

I love the black lace, it makes everything pop!

[@aperfecttouch]

I thought so too! 🧡🖤🧡

[@RavenAttwoode]

Absolutely stunning!

[@aperfecttouch]

Thank you!! 🧡🖤🧡

[@beth12svist]

I think my favourite part is the chatelaine bag for treats. 😊

[@beth12svist]

That said, all the detail about the gown construction is also appreciated. 🙂 I agree with previous comments - I love that you basically take the old-fashioned costume blog approach to sewing videos.

[@aperfecttouch]

Thank you!! I've really struggled over changing what I do to 'ride the wave' of what's trending in sharing and video offerings. But I've decided to share in what I hope helps someone thinking about a new pattern, or attempting a new project, or just getting started in costuming. It may not be the most entertaining, and I still haven't made the big camera investment, but thank you for telling me!! Made my day!!

[@beth12svist]

@@aperfecttouch It may not appeal to such a wide audience, but it's definitely something sorely missing among the current trends, so those of us who need that approach appreciate it doubly!

[@beth12svist]

@@aperfecttouch Strangely enough, for some things, like actually focusing on construction detail, static images are actually better than video.

[@aperfecttouch]

@beth12svist I still post to my blog, so photos are a must there.
