I saw on IG that you also include piping for upholstering your couch. That is even more challenging for a novice. You are a daring woman. <br />I wish I could clean out my wardorobe like you have, but I am bad at it... always think something might come in handy.<br />As for your outfit...: I think it is brilliant. Really I do. Great styling!! Textures, colour, pattern.. the works. And the handbag is sooo good. i remember I saw it in the first post when I discovered you. Or better said, you discovered me through Catherine haha.<br />GreetjeNo Fear of Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999161414598296313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-59048027146678368162017-03-20T07:37:37.536+00:002017-03-20T07:37:37.536+00:00The sewing sounds very interesting.
