Felicity helps with the Selina Blouse

It’s been too long since I did a Felicity post.  I don’t want to turn into the kind of blogger-becomes-patternmaker who only blogs about their patterns.  But… all my cute recent photos of Felicity are of her getting involved with making the Selina Blouse pattern and samples! So I hope you’ll forgive another Selina post, as long as it involved Felicity adorableness. Felicity helped with every bit of the Selina Blouse.
