The Handmade Summer Wardrobe Review: With Links to Helpful Fitting Tutorials
I've been thinking about wardrobe building a lot lately.
My personal sewing time is pretty limited, so I want to make sure that what I make will fit seamlessly into my me-made wardrobe, so this week I'm sharing a review of all my summer sewing (some old and some new) with links to the video tutorials that will help you extend the life of your sewing patterns and put your own me made wardrobe together too.
Watch the video for a closer look at the items I made and how I managed to make them all work together to make the perfect summer wardrobe.
