Hey Loves! It's March!  What happened to February? You know what I love about March?!  Spring is near.  After fashion week is all said and done, I like to check out the trends.  I tend to sew whatever I'm feeling but it's nice to know what the trends are for the season and try to add a little of that into my wardrobe.  I like the HarpersBazaar and WhoWhatWear trend reports. HapersBazaar is my favorite because they show you the runway style, some options to buy, and some street style.  Here's my top 5 from the two reports.

Each year Shundra chooses a charity and asks the sewing community for handmade items for the charity. I missed the opportunity to participate last year, but wasn't going to miss it this year.  This year we were asked to sew items for children in a group home.
