Hello sew-friends! How are things? Would you believe that it is March and this is my first blog post of the year featuring something I made? Utterly shocking! And, at the same time, not that surprising. The delay has been part lack of time and part lack of motivation. I've been thankful to be very busy with freelance design work this year but it has cut in to my sewing time. The lack of motivation is directly cause by the lack of places to wear my makes. We're now a full year into this pandemic lockdown and I just wear the same sweatpants, leggings and sweaters every day. But, I'm feeling hopeful that we'll be able to wear our makes and enjoy the company of others in person soon.
