First because it’s just so big in general, and second because it’s the convention at which I’ve made (or been granted, really) […]

reversible cadet cap

It’s summer, and – miracle of miracles – the weather in our part of the world is actually behaving like it’s summer. Sun sun and more sun, and actual decent levels of heat.

fabric scrap flowers – and why my body will be eaten by moths.

I’ve recently been inventing all sorts of little projects to use up my fabric scraps (so that I’ll be allowed to acquire more fabric scraps, of course). I get the feeling that this is a pursuit I’m going to have all the rest of my days, unless I suddenly stop sewing. Y’know, if Hell freezes […]
