If you guessed the sewing project in last week’s sneak peek was a dress, you’re right! It’s the Chantilly Dress by Colette Patterns. Isn’t it just the loveliest colour combo for late summer? Equally gorgeous with tights and boots! (I bet I can ride a bike in it, too. Haven’t tried it yet but you [...]
How Long Should Clothing Last?

You just never know what’s going to happen when you’re in business. First the postal strike, then a day without internet. Never a dull moment, I tell you! [...]
