We always get so itchy, don’t we? I’ve been sitting on my hands waiting for someone else to ask! 🙂

@Todd Thank you!!!! Now I just have to be patient for another week or so. I’m so glad to know where the finish line is!

Exciting! Which will release first, O+S or L+C?

Many years ago I was sewing up bathrobes for my 4 kids a week before Christmas (for gifts, becuz who doesn’t like extra stress during the holidays!) and I…[Read more]

Wooooooo hooooooo, that’s really exciting news!

I am excited!! I still need to sew up my Carousel dress so I guess I had better hurry!

@dubhels2003 I agree with @nzsewist that the roller skate is good for showing off prints. I’ve also done it so the back is a single piece. A sleeveless fairy tail (sans collar) would probably work as well.

There is some stretch to the pleather. I tried it, and ended up ripping it off and using regular fabric. It’ll be on the blog Thursday, and I’m so excited to reveal!
