Bumping as we have had some lovely new voices. 🙂

The sewing room has come to a stall
while fashion week is here for us all,
If I could buy time,
I’d think of a better rhyme,

@Audrey, of course but I am currently away from home so when I get home I will get into the skirt sewing.

Yay, I got a post to load!
