    In a panic for pants (trousers)!

    Hello again!  Here I am!  The real thing! My RTW Fast year is close to ending and I am still filling in the gaps in my handmade wardrobe.  There is still time left to sew up some pants for myself though – I would love to have a pair of black, blue and brown pants…

  • What I did on my summer vacation. (Part II)

    What I did on my summer vacation. (Part II)

    One down, one to go!
