I wasn’t sure what to call this. Basically, it is a tutorial on how to draft and make a shirt where the yoke is enclosed. This helps protect precious princess skin from irritating seams. I try to deter the complaints […]
The girl is currently playing volleyball, and she also has gymnastics on Saturday mornings, so she asked me to make her some pants that would go over those clothes. It is coooooooollllddd out there, man. So cold, my car battery […]
My family knows me so well. For my birthday in December they all gave me gift cards for Michael’s craft store, which amounted to around a $100 all together. I finally had a chance to go do a little shopping, […]
