I had prepped for KCWC by cutting out a bunch of Go To Leggings (affiliate link) for Ava while Kristin was here last weekend...and then later spent an afternoon sewing them up, and then fighting the urge to cut out and sew more.

I had some Briar Rose knit burning a hole in my hypothetical sewing pocket so I just had to get it out of my system with a quick dress turned tunic.
