Well, I sewed it for Brian's birthday in September, but we weren't able to get any pictures until now. First … Continue reading Birthday Newcastle Cardigan
It's that time again - for the surprise fabric box! This month's BeeBox comprised of 2 yards of Vinegar and Honey's custom brushed poly. Which I (not so) promptly used to make these leggings!
