Finished this cute #munaandbroadTorrensBoxTop today & love it! Been a while since I've sewn a Torrens but once again it didn't disappoint, it always goes together perfectly! Fabric is from @weftandwarpfabrics & is @missmorseby Linen-Cotton in the Tokyo-Boro design.

February 7th marks the 16th year since Black Saturday, and the start the longest week of my life. Remembering the 173 lives lost plus the immeasurable numbers of lives and families changed forever, including my sons' with the loss of his father and my husband, Marty. "Big Day, Big Day"

A new book coming out in October 2025 but you can preorder now. For those who aren't aware, even fashion design tech schools barely cover plus size fashion pattern making, which is insane (ignoring the needs of 45% of the market!). #sewing #plussizes 🧢
