Hi! I'm Patty, a 30-something and a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Texas. Read along as I get used to life in the suburbs, nest in a new home and sew my way through Dallas.
Morning rascally rabbits! I was going to do a mini sewing project last night JUST for those of you who are mourning my MIA sewing saga. Well, I was going to chop the skirt of a couple of maxi dresses because apparently moving to Texas has made me want to show off as much...
