I'm currently doing a button down blouse, out of some lovely eyelet and she decided she also wants a floofing skirt to go with it, I have border eyelet which matches and I'm plugging them together for one outfit.<br /><br />The same goes for my crocheting habits. I tend to mush things together to get the object I want.

Despite how comfortable I am behind a sewing machine, being self-taught I always worry that maybe I'm fiddling with things that shouldn't be fiddled with. I'm glad that mixing and matching aspects is an "acceptable" thing to do haha. Jess @ Spool and Spoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341203376695615577noreply@blogger.com
