KCWC: Derainbowfication, Part 2

September 25, 2010 By crafterhours 20 Comments

I’m participating in Elemental Stitch’s Carefree Clothes for Girls sew-a-long.  Every month Melissa announces a new pattern from the book for us to make.  I love this idea because it will force me to make some of the things I wouldn’t normally have chosen, but will probably end up loving.   The first project was the…
