Happy Wednesday, makers! This was such a fun week for us. We hosted a local Love to Sew meet-up at Blackbird Fabrics with Theresa, Meredith, and Alex from Spoonflower ! It was so inspiring to meet so many amazing local sewists. This week also saw the release of several new patterns that we are itching to make!
