I am really enjoying this challenge. It does two things for me: 10 I need to get my sewing machine out more and make things for me 2) I am inspired by the variety of make that you have and am determined to begin to include this in my crafting life. I do make lots of different things always, but not to wear, this could be the start of a turning point for me...

You are so creatively awesome Jo! I love that you not only make your clothes but that you mix pieces to create new looks!! Every outfit is adorable!!! You seriously have a design eye friend! Happy new week to you and your crew! Nicole
ReplyDeleteI have to say this is fascinating, not just to see what you've made, but to find out what you've been doing each day and how you dress for different things. It's fun to see, and you always make great stuff which suits you so well. xx
ReplyDeleteEven if you did a replay on this week's clothes, you'd still look great.
