Update:
It’s great to be back here on YouTube, I apologize for not posting for so long. I’ve been away due to work, but mostly because of my dog Maggie who you may have heard bark in some of my videos. In March, her cancer progressed. She passed a few months later at 15. I didn’t sew much during this time as all my energy was focused on her and being with her. I will hopefully start sewing more, but I have yet to form a proper schedule. Until then, thank you so much for stopping by and your continued support. Sending lots of love to all of you and your families.
