Next up in my list of sewing accomplishments is this knit wrap skirt by Vogue, 8711. The lines are interesting and the pieced yokes are flattering. I could not find the finished garment measurements anywhere on the pattern, envelope or online, so…
I’ve been sewing up a storm this past week. After going through my stash of patterns and fabrics I really felt like it was wrong to have spent so much on that pile of supplies and not have anything to show for…
