Today, I sat down and got to it. Well, once I had cleaned up my sewing table, sorted out the mess on the table next to it, cleared the floor of toys (the occupational hazard of sharing space in the playroom), played around with colours and fabrics and layouts, and done a bunch of cutting, then I sat down and… Read More
