Just found your blog and love it. I’ve never had an interest in sewing, but after seeing all of your great projects, I’m inspired to learn. Too bad I’m on the other side of the country and can’t take the bookbinding class; I would love it!

I’ve admired your work from afar (virtually and physically in Rochester, NY). You’ve got some mad talent and I’d love to have one of your books! Chris and I are friends from freshman year, but we’ve (you and I) never had the chance to meet. Anyway, tell Chris “hi” for me. I love to see your little fam on here every now and then.

I’d love to see more DIY projects for inspiration! I love the posts about transforming simple clothes into something spectacular! The ruffled shirt idea is one of my faves!
