July has been such a busy month it’s hard to believe it’s over already! I haven’t had a lot of sewing time, but I did manage to get a bit of Cricut crafting in here and there. I’m really looking forward to having time to move on to more substantial projects soon though. Sewing Progress … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 July Wrap Up

Sewing Progress No … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 March Wrap Up
The crazy busy season has started, so I haven’t had a lot of time to work on any sewing/crafting things this month. This monthly review will be pretty short in terms of accomplishments, but it does feel good to have somewhere to document things I have been contemplating for the future.

In an unexpected burst of energy I have completed my third bra! Over the holidays my sister and I did a pattern swap – we traced off and traded each other the sizes we needed so that we would both have a copy of the Ruby Bra and a copy of the Freja bra patterns. … More Adventures in Bra Sewing – Part 3: Trying the Freja Bra
