Pac-Man + M7465
Hello! I’m not usually one for nostalgia or novelty prints, but who can pass up a Pac-man inspired print?? I purchased this fabric from Fabric Mart and I really like it, it’s a good mid-weight ITY.

Hello friends! Long time no hear from! I’ve been thinking, oh by the way, Black Lives Still Matter and vote!! We know each vote counts and there is power in your voice not only on the federal level but on local and state levels too! Now that we have the admin stuff out the way, I’ve been thinking and reflecting on why I started blogging/sewing (they are connected for me) and my goals. I have used my blog and sewing as a self care practice and stress reliever for the last few years. This is great but I’ll be truthful, these last few months have been hard and I couldn’t…
