Happy Pride Everyone!
It’s my favorite month of the year. Pride AND tomorrow is my birthday. I am so grateful to have lived another year. I have so much for you this month so be sure the read through. I’m currently in Louisville, KY and I have a jam packed June. I hope to get to see some of you as I make my way through OH, PA, NY, and New England this summer.
Let’s kick it off with a pattern for you…
Want to make one? Here’s the pattern + tutorial for ya.
Speaking of patterns,
I closed my Etsy shop because I felt very exploited by their greed. You can read about that here. That said, I moved all of my fee-based patterns to my web store and you can purchase them here.
