I’ve recently strained my hand from knitting too much (honestly it’s the worst problem to have) so to stop myself from knitting and making the problem worse, I have been browsing knitting patterns and making longer lists of things to make.

I don't need to make yet another 2020-Bad joke, we get it. I bought an old silk dupatta … Continue reading 1920s One Hour Dress
I'm going through and posting most of the sewing projects I have made and never blogged about. As I've been progressing in my sewing career I realized that sewing pattern reviews and general commentary is actually super useful (who knew) and maybe I ought to contribute. Mostly maybe I just wanna post my pictures as … Continue reading Stretch-N-Sew 350 Review
