These sewists live the spirit of Designin’ December. They all have seen something, somewhere that they would probably never actually purchase and that doesn’t stop them from having it – because they make it for themselves!
“Why buy when you can make it yourself – better and for less money?”
By the way, I hope those of you listed below leave a comment with your blog name, if you have one, or any other social media you would like to share. I have listed mostly Instagram here, but would like to make sure I am following you, as I am sure others would like to too!
