What takes 18
processes, lots of colors, countless hours, many days, lots of love, and
one set of hands to complete?

4.Cut out pattern
pieces
5.Choose fabric, either

6.Wash fabrics
7.Place pattern pieces
on fabric and cut out fabric pieces
8.Sew together while
jotting instructions on scrap paper
9.Type up instructions
in terms everyone including new sewers and crafters can follow and
completely understand
10.Re-draw professional
drafted pattern pieces, create a pattern cover
11.Take professional
looking photos of finished items
