Hello Makers! These weeks have been flying by so it's nice to have an excuse to sit down for a few hours and admire all the amazing projects you crazy makers are putting out there! There is never a shortage of cool things to share and I love seeing all the hard work and dedication that you all put into your craft.
News
Two very exciting pattern releases this week! Lauren Dahl from Baste & Gather released the much anticipated Birkin Flares, and they already have quite the following amongst the pattern testers.
Colette released their newest pattern, the Phoebe Dress. It’s a gorgeous vintage inspired frock with a double breasted button front.
