A constant challenge for me is keeping all my sewing stuff in some sort of order. This is especially important since I have my sewing corner in the living room, so I don’t really have the opportunity to let my…
My sewing projects got put on hold last week as I caught the flu for the first time in like ten years. It felt a tad bit ironic since for the last few months I’ve been telling people that I…
