How long have you been sewing?
I’ve been sewing garments for about 4 years.
What inspired you to start sewing?
I wanted a raglan shirt that I couldn’t find anywhere, somehow I fell down the pdf pattern world rabbit hole and the rest is history.
What was your biggest sewing mistake?
I don’t know about biggest but one I used to make often was not cutting sleeves mirrored.

Favorite fabric base and a fabric base you’d like to try more.
In the summers ITY is my favorite, and I love DBP for cooler weather. I’d like to use more wovens.
