Seamstress Belli

Happy Wednesday!
It's time for another Creative Belli challenge can you believe it's all ready been two weeks? For the next two weeks we challenge you to Think Seamstress. You can interpret that any way you;d like as long as we can see something a seamstress would use somewhere on your project.  To play along once you have created your project link it to the Creative Belli challenge for us to see. If you post to an online gallery please use keyword CBC114. Now remember the belli challenge is all about using your things you have sitting around your craft room collecting a little dust. The stamp I used is from a Unity KOM back from April 2010 it has been awhile since I have inked it up so this challenge was perfect.
