All Thread Theory PDF patterns are 50% off! I took this opportunity to purchase the new Fairfield shirt for Sam, if I ever do get around to some more selfless sewing, lol.
Gillian announced the return of sewing dares! Head on over to Crafting a Rainbow to join in the fun. She dared me to make a Nettie Bodysuit, a perfect dare because love that look but am a little nervous to sew form-fitted knits. Challenge accepted!
