|
blog / Instagram / shop / youtube Hello Reader, Thank you for subscribing and reading the Sunday Stitch; we appreciate your support! My grown-up kids have been visiting this week, and I've enjoyed spending time with them. It's been a relatively quiet week, and we don't have a new post this week, but we have several fun things planned for August! In the meantime, please enjoy a few recently updated projects in our archives! This Child’s Apron pattern. It’s pretty simple to stitch up and would make an excellent gift for your favorite kid!
