It's the little things

There are some things that just make your day...a smile, a diet coke, nice things that someone says to you...

Thanks #modafabrics for the love, you have no idea how great you just made me feel!

I find that unless they are stitched down they usually add bulk to the sides. I realize that most people leave reviews on the pattern and that is something that I have neglected to do so here goes.... Pattern sizing: size 8 graded to a size 12'at the hips.
