This weekend I worked on catching up on my WIPs. I’ve done posts on organizing my fabric, but I thought I’d share how I organize my WIPs {Works in Progress}. Organizing WIPs is something I’m still working out. These are organized to a certain extent because I tend to take on more projects than I […] Read more…
I mentioned in my Monthly Roundup post that I followed along with the Summer Sew Along over at Needle & Foot Fine Fabrics. Since I needed to finish all the edges still, I thought I’d share how I do it. Finishing necklines & arm holes & doing hems is always something I put off! It’s […] Read more…
