Bold Striped Duster: Simplicity 8546

Black and Cream Stripe Racerback Maxi – M6744 B
I made this in mid-March while it was still rather chill here in the South. I hate the winter and was so ready for spring, but it just seemed like it Old Man Winter just wouldn’t leave. So I started sewing spring/summer clothing in the hopes urge Mother Nature along via positive thinking. Well I think […]
