Yes, everything you’ve heard is true…. I am now obsessed with getting the perfect pair of culottes! I have visions of culottes that will take me from work to evening with grace and glamour in a seamless swoop! Ok that’s maybe asking a bit much, I have very little grace and my glamour rating doesn’t… Continue reading A continued obsession with culottes
I have a question for you…. Why can’t I ever stop at one? I mean, the answer’s pretty obvious if it concerns an awesome sewing pattern.
