Morning Modelbuch (8/3/2018)

Another example of what a pattern might be used for. I love this zimarra and making one with a similar embroidery is on my to-do list. Down the front, the short pointed border that probably has matching pieces on the back, down the sleeve and up in the sleeve head. It’s a lovely gown.
