Today was jam packed with information and ideas, thanks to Jenny and Barbara. Jenny presented us with our Sewing With A Plan (SWAP) challenge for the remainder of 2014. You make it look so doable, Jenny! Then Barbara gave us a peek inside her artistic brain and how she decides on color. And lastly Jenny led us in a hands-on look at selecting the most flattering necklines.
Whew! So much to think about and enjoy.
