in Coolest Thing Today,Sewing & Stitching

Finished and sent to my daughter (who, by the way, LOVED it!) This was a fun project using some amazing retro glamorous Cowgirl fabric from Alexander Henry line “Back in the Saddle”. I dolled it up with embroidery inspired by Sublime Stitching. So much fun!
