Not So Quick
After I finished my Granville shirt, I wanted to sew up something quick and easy. I actually have a stack of quick and easy patterns that I want to sew up. I’ve even matched them up with fabric! I picked…

Slooooowly (With No Pictures)
The thing with blogging about making things is that you have to make things to share. (Duh.) And the thing is that you have to keep making new things to share. And what does that mean? Quick sewing because knitting…
