Wednesday Weekly #53

Happy Wednesday, makers! My sew-jo is going strong these days since my refashioners success. I want to make ALL the things before my trip to New York in October. I've also begun work on my next pattern and I am SO excited to share it with you all soon. Making the samples has been really fun, and I scored some awesome fabric at the last Our Social Fabric sale here in Vancouver to use. You all have been busy bees too!
