This is a very cool technique.  I can see it would take a very long time to create such a beautiful dress.  I will create something more to my size, like a tote or simple tee shirt stencil.  Thank you for such an enlightening class.

Natalie is just such a great and clear explainer and so easy to listen to.  In addition to the "how-to," she includes so many important little tips and stitiching knowledge.
