I’ve devoured this (audio) book by Holly Ringland. If you are struggling to tap into your creativity, give it a listen/read. Appealed to me as a #sewsky but applies to #writing #art #diy #gardening #cooking #quilting … anything.

Pattern is the #lunajacket by Papercut Patterns, fabric is a patchwork indigo denim from The Fabric Store.
