    A quick and easy t-shirt with a Hey June Aurora pattern

    January 30, 2018 / No Comments

    Drafting and sewing a sports outfit

    January 19, 2018 / No Comments

    I designed this sports outfit for my 7-year-old daughter who is into circus and break dancing. My daughter chose the pink fabric with the flame pattern and I added some black jersey to make the outfit less restless. I am super happy with this unique outfit that I drafted from the scratch!
