Balenciaga Set – Part I

Hey friends! I won a Mood gift card at the end of August and immediately knew I had to pick up Mood x Balenciaga fabric. I had this runway pic saved for months! I looove a good co-ord set. This specific style has several elements that appeal to me: the knee length skirt, matching boots,…

LOLA PATTERN BY STAYSTICH PATTERN CO

Happy fall everyone! Jumping into Fall 2021 I planned to sew with more knits. I began this in my last post featuring the Muse Bodysuit. I’ve sewn knits a handful of times.

ORANGEY – HONOR GOLD GATHERED VELOUR SKIRT
