Sage Tyrtle

A first page red flag that makes me stop reading: a woman hating herself.

I adore Sage Tyrtle and love being in her newsletter!

me: no my first person narrator is not me.
reader: oh good, I didn’t really like her.

*beaming* Thank you!

Aw, Ani, thanks so much! I've been eyeing this fabric for SO LONG and am relieved it looks exactly the way I was hoping.

Smiling person with blue glasses and blue bangs in a shirt that has a rainbow stripe front, white collar, and white sleeves with rainbow edges.

My #CameronButtonUp is finished except for buttons! I sewed 5 sleeves in total and had to re-do the entire front but learned so much along the way. Especially proud of the sleeves. Had Esme from Great British (more)

Sewing Bee in my head, saying, "It's such a shame the two fabrics don't seem like they come from the same shirt," and so I added the rainbow edges to the sleeves and love how it turned out. (Used both fabrics to make the shirt because the white is half the price.) This one came out exactly (more)
