Hard at work, or, hardly working?
It feels like both. I’ve been working all week to get patterns uploaded to Payhip. It’s been an ordeal, but I think I’ve done it, correctly, I hope.

When the fabric arrived I was sorry that I hadn’t planned for the entire width of the border print, but I couldn’t change, because […]
