There’s something to be said about putting off a project and then never getting around to it.. This was the case with my son’s 4 birthday shirt.

The fabric has been sitting under my monitor and I’ve had a gazillion ideas on what I should sew. I finally decided to make a versatile clutch / make-up pouch. The… View Post
