0 Comments

 
I have decided that every Wednesday I will post a weekly project update to help remind me what my sewing priorities are and hopefully to help see what types of things are causing me delays.  This might not be my only post on Wednesdays but I will try to post this each week from here on out.  Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of my projects to show this week but I will try to include pictures of the progress I’ve made each week so you can see what I’m up to.  Below are the projects I am working on this month, listed in order of priority:
