This is actually what prevents me from buying more knits. Not the sewing, but the actual purchase. I need to find a book that has little swatches of fabric in it with labels. Then I could use that as a reference when I search google. I know what I am asking for, and google hopefully, helpfully provides that. I realize it means that the seller…[Read more]

I have not made the Sailboat for my son, but he wears a 3T in ready-to-wear, but takes a 2 or a 3…[Read more]
