The shoes are so fun, but like many of my Fluevogs, they are not to everyone's tastes. <br /><br />I am definitely going to be more open to sewing things that are damaged.

Despite genuinely adoring it (and purple being my sweet mama's all-time favourite colour), I almost always seem to have a lack of it in my closet. <br /><br />Even before the fire, I owned surprisingly little, Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-5050418359884507292021-03-12T11:37:14.215-08:002021-03-12T11:37:14.215-08:00Thank you, Greetje!

I don't want to invest in a sewing machine or spend all that money, but I also know quite a bit about how clothes are made. At least I can do simple repairs. You should totally take a sewing class!
