One of my favorite things about sewing is getting lost at the sound of my sewing machine! Sewing away, chain piecing, cutting fabric, and next thing you know many hours have passed, and I was able to escape to my happy place.

The front page is written in chain stitch on one of my first hand-dyed gray fabrics ...
