Ruby Tester Roundup
Now that my Ruby Dress & Top pattern is out, I want to say a big THANK YOU to the people who tested the pattern before we released it to the masses! This group of gifted ladies sewed up a batch of Rubies with impressive speed: we emailed them the test pattern on a Friday morning, and by Sunday evening, they'd started sending photos and feedback. Wow!
It's essential to see how the pattern works up in different sizes, how it works for different body types. Getting feedback about the instructions and fit helps us make sure all the pattern pieces are just right in each size, so we really appreciate the hard work these ladies put into testing Ruby out for us.
Venus made hers out of Kaffe Fasset shot cotton; that fabric is perfect.

Elaine (she blogs over at Dashasel Sews) made a dress first, and then decided she like the top version! I love seeing the two side by side.
