I turned this sketch sideways as it better fit my bird image. I paper pieced the dress and highlighted the flowers on it with copics, dyed the seam binding with distress ink, and zig zag stitched around the whole thing. I added two tea cups in the corners and a gold tea bag charm. You are all invited to my Spring tea party!
