Hey, fabric lovers — have you heard of Spoonflower? I first heard of them a few years ago and had my first experience sewing with their fabrics for this BurdaStyle project where I tested out one of their purse patterns from their November 2011 book, The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook.* What I loved the most about… [Read More]
