For a few years, I worked as a mixed animal veterinarian in both general practice and at a non-profit sanctuary (think dogs, cats, hedgehogs, mice, cattle, horses, pigs, chickens, eagles, hawks, snakes, camels, and zebras). Then I decided to go back to graduate school to…

I have always wanted to make a shirt dress but had always been very intimidated to give it a try. The collar and buttonholes were enough to deter me. Having successfully made a few other FS patterns, I felt up to the challenge. The instructions you get with the patterns are unmatched. I felt ready…
