Today's WIP~

I decided I needed to make something whimsical to deal with these dark unprecedented times. So I present some whimsical strawberry pincushions that I made out of scrap fabric. They are about 2 inches tall so prefect for sewing kits or trinket shelves.

I will be listing them probably Friday or sooner idk yet. Just enjoy the whimsy for now...

This week's current WIP~

It's slow going, but I decided to take the plunge and work on a blouse. I've been promising for a while to start bringing in actual clothing items into the shop and I'm working hard to make good on that promise but as for-mentioned its slow going.

As you can tell the blouse is still very much "in progress" but I'm proud of how it looks despite it being my very first blouse. Also the muttonleg sleeves are testing my patience but they so very worth it in the end.

Not sure when it'll be listed but soonish I guess. If this blouse gets a good response I'll probably make more but for now this blouse will test the waters and see if anyone would actually buy something like this from my shop or if everyone thinks it ugly and I'm wasting my time. But for now I just felt like sharing.
