I just like doing things. So I've slowly been getting back into my projects. I've got a billion things … Continue reading WIP Wednesday

Sewing has been a pretty big part of my life this year and so, just as I review how the last year has gone and set goals for the new year, I wanted to do the same with my sewing.
