I know last year was a bit...sparse...on the sewing front on this ol blog here. (to say the least) So...I set a goal for myself this year to try and remedy that. I want to sew more but I'm switching gears a little from my norm! My goal for 2018 is to sew (at least) one thing for Jack each week. YEAR OF THE BOY! I am hoping this kick … [Read more...]
