Yesterday, I took an applique workshop at my local sewing studio. I've never done it but have long admired the technique. We told our teacher in advance which project we wanted to do and she had kits made up for us (saves time instead of us picking out fabric and measuring). I chose this one: … Continue reading Applique
Raglan Cardigan
A while back I was at a LYS and fell in love with Plymouth Yarn Encore Dynamo color 041. A combination of grays, oranges and greens. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it.
