Top 5 Misses 2015
Today I’m sharing my Top 5 Misses of 2015! All in all, I’m feeling pretty good about this year’s sewing. I had very few true Misses. And quite a few of these looks below were remade or will be reused for new projects. My best year of productive sewing yet! Check out my Hits from last week…
Known: Slow Fashion October
It’s the last week of Slow Fashion October and this weeks theme is Known. Slow fashion to me is about designing and crafting a better life for myself and my family.
