I don’t know about the rest of you, but here in upper Indiana, we’ve had a VERY late spring. It’s FINALLY gotten warmer and the trees are flowering.

And I’m trying to figure out what type of pattern I want to use with it. The only full items I’ve made with the voile have been pillow cases and infinity scarves. Both perfectly

Dear sweet Ayumi has recently written a book called Patchwork Please (which you can pre order anywhere I imagine). I’m lucky enough to have an advanced copy of the book because I’ll be part of the book blog sew along later on in the coming months here. But I couldn’t wait to dive in and do
