DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I love trying new crafts. I’m always so fascinating with making, well, everything and I’m forever looking for the next thing to try. I’ve even got a list that I’m planning to work my way through this year! Today is all about bargello which might be familiar to some of you but probably not to […]
