A Long Silence
After a long silence, I catch up with a year in sewing and the small, treasured makes that kept me busy. Highlights: my 50th anniversary dress in vintage linen, a fuchsia pink silk shirtdress, wool jacket and sundresses for my granddaughters. I also cover how to choose vintage buttons, Farmhouse Fabrics kits, Emma One Sock Fabrics finds and practical silk shirtdress construction tips.
