I don’t have a ton of sewing to show off from the last couple of weeks. I am sewing, but it’s at a slower pace since I’m still staying with family and working remotely and so my time is taken up by more stuff, and I don’t love sewing outside of my set up space at home.

NOTE: This post is a repost from a few years ago. This Tuesday’s post was going to be about my trip to My Fair Lady, but time got away from me this weekend while trying to finish up The Little Mermaid costumes and so I’m going to save that one for when I can actually write it at a leisurely pace. So enjoy a little “blast from the blog past” today! This week, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has been […]
