Susan Sews a White Linen Lutterloh Skirt & Saves $100s
Well here I am entering another contest on Pattern Review (PR). Back in 2007 or 2008 when I joined PR I was just returning to garment sewing. As a result of the 2008 economic crisis, I had lost my job. I was a little lost. That is when my Beloved said, “Go Sew, just…
