I love the pleated detail at the shoulder and it looks great with the dress. It's such a great combo.<br /><br />In terms of testers, I feel like it's a big sacrifice to be a tester, which is why I never do it. I often see testers have to work on a deadline, provide feedback, and then of course invest your time and money in the fabric. All for a free pattern? If people want to do it, good for them! But, how much can we expect when people are unpaid. Last I heard (though I don't do pattern testing) O+S is the only indie company that pays pattern testers. Am I right? So, to me, the onus is on the pattern company to ensure the pattern is up to snuff.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-6752714626158599822016-10-13T22:57:38.827+11:002016-10-13T22:57:38.827+11:00You made me laugh when explaining about the Nether...You made me laugh when explaining about the Netherlands and Belgium (I'm Dutch, but born, raised and still live in Belgium).<br />Love the Amare dress you made in that gorgeous panel!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584013047664301123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-30126886200763305382016-10-13T06:49:35.116+11:002016-10-13T06:49:35.116+11:00Thank you for participating!
