I wanted to match my daughter and couldn't find what i was looking for.
What was your biggest sewing mistake?
I've made so many, getting the skirt fabric of a dress caught in my serger, making a huge hole, putting a hood on backwards, sewing a sleeve upside down, putting a neckband on the wrong way, forgetting to cut the fabric mirrored... can't learn without mistakes
Current favorite pattern?
The pony tank is probably one of my favorite and most used pattern.

All the tie dye!
Favorite print from So Sew English?
The spiral tie dyes and I absolutely love the large poppy fabrics

Favorite fabric base and a fabric base you'd like to try more.
