My typically over-ambitious sewing plans are proving slower to yield fruit than I intended but I do have a new Finished Object to share.
Desiginin’ December 2021: Contender Number 2

Sewing bookworm – It’s habit forming
Sade and Rae a couple of flighty pieces that were made for flouncing.
Finally! I made something for my man!
