Sarah White April 13, 2016 Stitching1 Comment

Because I had scraps of fabric out yesterday while I was working on the circle bag, the girl asked if she could sew two pieces of fabric together. We’d talked about starting her on a real sewing project, instead of just stitching on plastic canvas, during spring break but she …
