When I first began sewing, it was gifts for family and friends. Just something to pass the time. Why not try to make a little money while doing it? I still do freelance work in television production but I cannot wait for the day that I will be able to make a living sewing and creating.
That being said...
Tis the season...so I am going to give away a child's sized red and
white infinity scarf made with designer jersey knit fabric. Your little
one will look absolutely adorable for all of her Christmas photos
wearing this scarf...then she can wear it for Valentine's day too!
