Sew Your Own Wardrobe: Bonnie Dress Hack

Oh look! I made ANOTHER knit dress, this time it's a glorious Bonnie/Moneta hack with contrast bloody sleeves!

Sew Your Own Wardrobe: February Project

Sew Your Own Wardrobe: February Project

I have a confession… When I started my Sew Your Own Wardrobe project back in May last year, I thought I would have absolutely no problem sticking to it. Let me tell you that I was WRONG. As I’m sure is the same with many other sewers (sewists?) I have a list as long as my arm of things I want to make. The problem is that this month absolutely none of them appealed to me at all.
