It’s so exciting to see everyone getting into the swing of sewing after a break over the Holidays (for some).  Some of you went and made us all look bad by sewing up amazing handmade gifts for everyone you know!  Seriously though, it’s good to be back, right?  I’ve been on a sewing roll lately and I am excited about my upcoming vacation to Mexico! I get the excuse to make summer clothes in the winter time, It’s awesome.

News

I am completely smitten with Caroyln’s doll, Sally.  She even has a complete wardrobe!  I seriously can’t even, that is the cutest thing.

This song by Sylvan Esso is my jam lately, it seems fitting with the spirit of the new year and the theme of personal growth and change.  Have a great week everyone!
