Crafting a handmade wardrobe slowly, one piece at a time. When I’m not sewing I love to garden, cook, travel, explore nature and hangout with my husband and two fur babies.
With many Joann stores closing it’s a good idea to invest in one of these Gutermann color charts to color match your thread if you have to purchase online.

My local sewing shop Illustration fine fabrics also sells Gutermann thread, so support your local stores first!

Did some cyanotype experiments with my mom over the weekend. Sadly the Crystals did not print. Not sure if the sun was too low in the sky or if they just don’t provide enough of a block. The shadows looked promising

I used the feta to make a whipped feta dip. This recipe is a keeper

#butterick4198 this vintage pattern fit me with zero mods! I’m obsessed with this Indian block print cotton, I even made a Genre top and Bisque shorts set with the same fabric
