Summer is finally in full swing here, and all that crazy rain Texas was getting is a distant memory. Well, at least it is where I am. Summer is one of my busier times in terms of cons and cosplay, and the last two months have been no exception. I realized recently that I haven't … Continue reading Summer 2015 Sewing Projects
