Fabric is Honk-Honk (brown) by Michael Miller, trim is a blue/brown shot cotton, pattern is my own.

B. Black & Sons (aka heaven)
Last Wednesday, the kidlets and I went on an adventure to the garment district in downtown LA. I wanted to find Silk Buttonhole Twist (but I wasn’t sure I wanted to buy it, so I wanted to see it first). I found this place online, and so we went. view from the cash register. those […]
