I hope you are as excited as I am! Today I am kicking off the sewing series for 2014 that I announced last week. Let’s start off by announcing the theme for January….drumroll please….This month I give you: New Year, New Skills: Each of the projects this month will focus on developing a new sewing skill that you haven’t tried or that you need to brush up on.
