An important conversation has been raging across the sewis-phere over the last couple of days regarding size inclusivity in sewing patterns.

Me-Made-May ’15
Shit, ya'll. I'm back (?) !

Me-Made-May Reflections
Whats the take-home message from Me Made May 2014? KNITS KNITS KNITS. I've been sewing knits since I started sewing 1.5 years ago, and I have no intention of stopping.
