Liz and I are busily sewing our brains out to share our fall "look book" collections in a week or so. But, in the meantime, we do have a few projects that have been sitting on the back shelves. I am currently three outfits down and three to go, with bits and pieces in between like blind-stitch hemming (I don't know why but I dislike blind-stitch hemming, so I always leave it until the end, even with the nifty foot-- I am weird.) But I am totally stuck at finding a girls' navy blue skinny belt ... View the Post
