Sewing friends!! I am oh so proud of my latest make!! The new Itch to Stitch Causeway Bomber jacket is probably the most complicated thing I've ever made, but nevertheless, after making the muslin, I was able to bang it out over two evenings and a Saturday afternoon.

I'm so loving this hand embroidery kick I'm on! My youngest had been nagging for an embroidered dress after I had made her big sister's dress a few weeks ago. When she saw me stitching this one, she promptly gave me some of her artwork and declared that she wanted me to embroider it! So,… Continue reading Duchess & Hare Junebug Dress {Release}
