Insanely odd, but I'm super pleased that these photos ended up looking so "fall" because the September BeeBox is absolutely perfect for a fall dress! … Continue reading September BeeBox – VHCO
I'm missing the warmer weather already! I sewed up the Mama Cora Culottes about two weeks ago in testing and it was so much warmer even then. But anyway...I can totally wear them with tights for the fall, so that's good! Because I love these. Made for Mermaids released this pattern the other day to … Continue reading Skirt/Shorts = Culottes
