Getting Back Into The Groove
It has been a serious minute since I last posted so please pardon my absence. My blog started to kick off right before I started my new job and since working, I've found it to be extremely difficult to physically and mentally get back into the groove I once had. Even sewing became sparing (although…
A Nigerian Event In Three Days = His & Her Emergency Outfits
I would like to preface this post by saying my sewing posts will be a little different going forward. I typically explain how I make my garments but I want to make things simpler and only discuss the inspiration behind what I sew. I honestly find more creative joy when sharing with you how the…
