Another Black Friday grab, the Forsythe from French Navy has been on my radar for a while now. I have always wanted this pattern, but never felt I had the right fabric for it. So I re-purposed some Jersey stripe from Girl Charlee that was originally intended for my grunge dress that has failed to… Continue reading French Navy Forsythe
Yes the title says it all, another Kielo make! Named clothing are my go to pattern company, and my amount of Kielo’s are second to the amount of Inari’s I have (but no where near in number as I am Inari OBSESSED!)
