Modern Sewciety and an extra hour.

Happy Labor Day.
I'm not taking much time off today, but I did start the day off by finishing up this lil guy for fun. And I'm very lucky that I can usually find "work" to do that is sewing related. Today I will try ...
spoonflower social.
It was a no-brainer when the folks at Spoonflower asked if I wanted to make a social tote out of their fabrics. Well, almost a no-brainer. My one fear was getting totally lost in all the ...
