It means it’s JUNGLE JANUARY 5! #junglejanuary5 Seriously, I never wore animal print until I “met” Pretty Grievances on WordPress. I always thought that animal prints were used for those lycra tops and pantsuits that Carol Burnett used to wear on her show! (Do you remember Mrs. Wiggins?) I was wrong! So wrong! Pretty Grievances, and…

One down, one to go!
I have been sewing my DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER copies and now that I have finished my top, I thought it was time I checked in with you. You already know I want to make this Designer Original bell-sleeved top by Ellery Neu. I’m using McCall’s M6896, view E. I adjusted the pattern a few weeks ago to…
