Let’s chat about sewing garments!! In this episode Vanessa pulls out some of her indy patterns and some BIG 4 name brand patterns to go through them and sort out which ones she may want to make to add to her me-made wardrobe!
Join the chat and follow along and see if you have any of these patterns in your stash or if you want to hunt them down and make them yourself!
If you’ve been thinking of sewing your own clothes this year, tune in! You may feel inspired to give it a go after today’s episode.
Last week’s WIP Wednesday was interrupted by a power outage from the storms. But we started brainstorming for a NEW closet of me-made clothes. This week, we’re continuing!
