Dorothy and Maree bought the same fabric on a Pattern Review fabric buying trip in Melboune last year. Dorothy wore her lovely skirt she had made and Maree wore her jacket she had made form that same fabric! What a match it was on Dorothy!

Here Maree show’s the group the lines of the jacket and she let Dorothy know that as great as she looks in the combined suit she can’t take the jacket home with her! ;-)
