Please don’t tell me summer is already over. While fall is my favorite season, this summer went way too fast.
First the highlight, a semi-makeover with one of my cutting tables. The before and after story can be found here. And because it caused my shiny bunny syndrome (ADHD) to kick in, the project became bigger than what was so it took more time that anticipated.
This is what my August sewing month looked like:
