Susie, have to say I love the way you spell your name. Someone very dear to me spells it the same. Thank you for your compliment! I think it came out alright, because I've sewn for so long, so I understood a lot of the basics, like accurate seams, measuring, and cutting. Plus the pattern was meant for newbies, so it had a lot of explanations. There are plenty of mistakes, but as one person told me if you can't notice them on a galloping horse 50 feet away, it's fine.
