Mirra! Look! A hoodie! I’m finally on the hoodie train. I’ve made them for my husband but this is my first hoodie.

Happy Birthday/Anniversary to George and Ginger Patterns!    This amazing fashion-forward company is three years old! I participated in the Ginger Dress re-release for the anniversary.   It’s so not my usual style, but it’s beautiful!
