Five months into the year, and things are going excellently for Sewaholic Patterns! (Which is me, but I do tend to think of my business as its own entity. Both the business and I are doing well!) I have taken your advice and kept up with the red lipstick! I have to say, it does [...]

Hey, everyone! Remember the Garbage Fashion Show that I mentioned last week? It was great! It was so much fun to be a judge and see all of the innovative outfits made from recycled materials.
