I’ve had this idea for a Saltspring camisole hack for a while now. When I like a pattern, I tend to imagine a million different versions and hacks. I love making the most of a pattern I love! I first made a tank top variation of the Saltspring dress a few years back. I loved […]
Here’s a Granville Shirt in a striped fabric. This is vintage cotton shirting, bought on Etsy a couple years back. You can tell it’s an older piece of fabric because it’s narrow, only 35″ wide.
