Christine Jonson is having a sale…
I’ve seen these fabrics, and they are DELISH! And she’s able to offer them at a lower price. I picked up Lush Sage rayon lycra and Amber Peach rayon lycra at her studio a week ago, at the pant fitting. …
paradise
I'm Ann. I've been sewing since I was 9. My first project was a denim wrap skirt. Thrifting is a way of life for me - both eco-chic and financially savvy.
