During Shelter-In-Place, my one bedroom apartment has become my entire world. Not only does it serve as my living space, it is also functioning as my husband’s office and a wardrobe room for a late night TV show. Shipping supplies are currently taking up our entry way.

My Two Teahouse Dresses
I had been eyeing the Teahouse Dress pattern by Sew House 7 for some time before I finally bought it.

Hooray for the Wiksten Haori!
I had been eyeing the Wiksten Haori pattern for some time but the steep price of $18 was holding me back. Finally I just bit the bullet and purchased it and I am so glad I did!
