On Wednesdays We Sew

One of my favorite things about this adventure in sewing is getting to try new things I would normally NEVER wear…..and finding out I LOVE them!

If you have seen my fabric stash, you know I am totally addicted to hoarding fabric…it’s just reality and I totally admit to it. I try my best to share this glorious world of fabric with as many people as possible as often as possible, hence strike-off sewing! Not only do I get to sew… VIEW POST
