Flannel Napkin DIY
Over the past few weeks, sewers all over the U.S. raided their fabric stashes. They have been answering the call that begged for face masks. Although I hadn’t turned on my sewing machine in years, I was among those braving the depths of our fabric hoards. I found all kinds of cotton fabric that literally…
The Peachtree Street Society
What exactly is the Peachtree Street Society? Well, it’s a concept brought upon by our new reality of social distancing. Closing the shop to the public was incredibly hard for me.
