Club package of the year), and the Find Your Fade Shawl by Andrea Mowry out of stash yarn from her travels.
Sew Little Time
Jocelyn is awaiting some notions to finish up some bags for the soon-to-be-open Etsy shop. She cut the fabric for a new dress for herself. Parts for her new old Singer machine are in transit.
