feed back !

had feed back session, went well, loved my jetted pocket, dress fastening down the back could have been neater and finished off a bit better, overall work was looking really good, so i was pleased with my feedback. i feel i could of done the dress a little bit better, i ran out of time with the eyelet fastening down the back... next i wont use strips of hook and eyes, not practical and hard to attatch.
