Last year I started a Make with Me series. The name is a bit of a misnomer, because so far I’ve always finished the thing before I even invite you to start making. Gotta stay ahead of the game.
I usually make up for not following the rules of a make-a-long by giving you the links to any patterns and/or helpful resources…. until today.
