He Think He Fancy: Simplicity 2755 and Burda Mag Dog Cape

Yellow, Black and White Maxi: Simplicity 3503
It’s not too often I outright copy Trena and make something because I saw hers. I mean, I get salty when I give her unloved fabric and she turns it into a masterpiece. When? Like this shirt and this...

Vintage Simplicity 8276: House Coat, Art Smock, Lab Coat, Beach Cover Up
