    Ahhh this reminds me of our house when I was a child and my Mum used to make all of our clothes. There were sewing patterns and fabric everywhere. Great stuff Judy.

    Wonderful take on the theme, Judy. I especially love the dressmaker's dummy (or mannequin). Fantastic collage work - great design.
