First, I have some patterns to give away. I will mail these to fellow sewers anywhere around the world…

Two Retro Swimsuits
The past few weeks have been busier than I expected. As I mentioned in my previous post, I am teaching a few classes at a community college. This is my first time teaching, and preparations have been taking up most of my time.
Before the craziness ensued, I did make a few things. So, I’m going to start sharing pictures of some of those items with you.
Today’s post is about two swimsuits that I made in August. Continue reading
