Still working on the Garter Yoke Cardi. I’ve had to rip the sleeve out 3 times to get the decreases right since I making it fitted & full length unlike the pattern. The first sleeve is finally done so hopefully the second will go really fast.
Stitching
Working on a Dala horse for my mom to go with the heart I made her.

Loving
Target & Champion for selling workout pants in lengths! I’m so tired of pants that shrink up to somewhere between my ankle & knee after one wash.
Eddie Bauer Curvy Fit Jeans – Not more gapping at the waist in order to fit the hips, the fit is amazing & they come in different lengths.
