Deborah from wonderwoman creations shows how she made this adorable ruffled jacket for a young girl. She started with a printed pattern, but altered it to add the ruffles to the sleeves.

To get you into a pink mood Hero Arts …shares a cute trio of holiday cards. I love a pale green matched with the pink, it’s very trendy and modern looking.
