small sewing projects
Hello! Welcome! It’s my turn on the Tiny Toffee Blog Hop! I’m really excited to show you what I’ve been working on… but first let me introduce Susi. I feel like Susi and I go waay back. She’s been coming up with brilliant ideas that I can’t resist getting involved in for several years now. […]
If I wasn’t already quilting my way through a book, I would be tempted to make every project in Anna Graham’s book Handmade Style, I love this book! This quick project is my second from the book and I know I’ll be making more. If you have the book you might have noticed that I left the […]
