Sewing Challenges: #So50Visible and #BGchallenge
@sewover50 has been running the #So50Visible Challenge on Instagram and I wasn’t too sure if I’d make their deadline of March 15th! And what do you know… I did!

The “Snake skin”.

Picasso’s flowers.
This is my second garment in my Sister’s Sewing Projects. A skirt we call Picasso’s flowers. When you plan on making three skirts and four dresses for you sister, you better be really organized – patterns, fabrics, notions, etc. – so from the start we gave all the fabrics names. Now although this 100% polyester…
