I haven’t been down in my sewing space for ages. I wish I could say that I have a good excuse, like the fact that it’s freezing down there (in my defense it is), or that my sewing table needs to be replaced/repaired (it does), but honestly, I think I would work around those things…

At first, I didn’t think I would be participating in the challenge, because I had to buy special fabric from Cherrywood to participate, and I was…

It’s been a while since I did a full WIP post, where I actually talked about all of the projects I have going, instead of just the ones I’m actively working on. And with my holiday break coming up, I feel like this is a great time to remind myself you what all I really…
