Inspiration
I love hearing from you guys! Recently, a fellow Vancouverite and sewist reached out to me via email to say hi. She is planning to focus on vlogging her sewing journey in 2017 so you can follow along on her YouTube channel, PBunnieP, to see what she makes! Her videos are high quality and she is impressively composed. I could never talk on camera for so long without messing up!
