By ReginaMorrison on August 18, 2011

I made this little dress for my niece and it was so easy….just like all my other sewing projects. In addition to being a simple sewing project, it was also very inexpensive because I was able to find all my supplies at the thrift store.  The total cost of this dress was $3 + about [...]

Acute How-To: Simple Sew Cloth Napkins

Acute How-To: Simple Sew Cloth Napkins
