Summer Breeze Skirt
Yesterday turned out to be a great day for photographing outside. The rain really held out until later on in the day, instead of raining on and off all day. Luckily, my friend Susan was available to model my clothing for me. So now everything I have in my Etsy shop is fresh, [...]
This is my first, successful bag construction. It is a gift for Justin’s grandmother; who gave me the serger. I think the fabric print will suit her well, and hopefully she can get a lot of use out of it. If anything else; the needle case that goes along with it; will be a great [...]
