Here is a Pinterest pattern hack coming for you. This pin is pretty popular. It is a short-sleeved top with a “cape” over it. If you are on Pinterest, I am sure you have seen it. I know it comes up in my feed all the time. I wanted to make this as part of […]

Another challenging garment! Wardrobe by Me needed testers for their new coat, and I volunteered for it, although I knew I would be pressed for time. My chronic back pain also ratcheted it up a notch this past month…or so. As it was, I was late on this. I used fabric for the outer that […]
