Smilla Number 2

A few days ago I was able to finish my second dress. I was very happy with Pattydoo‘s pattern and I love my orange dress so much that I used the pattern Smilla a second time and sewed the dress from a fabric that I had been lying around in my collection for a long time.

This is what happened to me when I invested time in planning and building my blog and thought about possible posts I wanted to share with you. I’m a huge fan and admirer of the planning community, Filofax creatives, Doodle artists, and collectors of stamps and washi tapes, and I […]
