Meet Flora, our adorable
Basset hound
THANK YOU...
to Clara Constantine
and Paula Smith, who
helped us name Flora
via Instagram – great
minds think alike!
As soon as this little sweetheart landed on our desks here at Crafts Beautiful, we were
all instantly smitten! Corinne Bradd has used bold floral and sunny yellow fabrics to
create an eye-catching contrast, then finished off Flora's look with a smart leather collar.
You could even make her for a very young child – just leave of the collar and
embroider her eyes instead.
