Originally the challenging part was taking good photos (ie not bathroom selfies) as I depend on others to take my photos.

This is my first time working with an Amazing Fit pattern from Simplicity and I might be in love. I actually purchased S1156 because it was similar to V8995 which I already owned but had been too afraid to cut since I am frougie and Vogue patterns are “expensive“. In my defense $4.99 is 5 […]
