A Ruffled Collar Tutorial
In case you missed this a couple of weeks ago at see kate sew's RUFFLES 2012....One thing that we love over at Simple Simon and Co is taking simple, vintage, classic children's clothing and adding a touch of a modern to them.

This is how it turned out: The quote along the top comes from the book "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery which I was rereading at the time. It is from one of my favorite sections of the book where the Little Prince is having a conversation with a fox ... View the Post
