Fabric Stash Challenge: Burgundy Faux Snake Skin

It took way longer than I anticipated for me to get to the next fabric in the fabric stash challenge, but I got there and have made these shorts!

The pattern I used is McCall's pattern M7726 and, while it is a classic style, the pattern itself is not as straightforward as I thought it would be. I made some adjustments and I'll discuss that in a later post when I do a formal pattern review.

Sketchbook: Color Practice

My sketchbooks are devoid of color usually because I run out of steam or I don’t want to “ruin” a sketch I like, but I found in this practice I was really enjoying the process. It didn’t have to be perfect and I was looking forward to making mistakes. Or in the words of the great Bob Ross: happy little accidents.
