Hi Lovelies!

Like my 2016 Review, I wanted to be sure I took some time to document my PERSONAL sewing achievements, highlights and milestones of 2017. I started 2017 with the intent to spend as much of my time promoting SewingPortofolios.com by networking and building relationships with sewing related businesses and sewers worldwide, so I knew going in that my personal blog would suffer while I focused on building SP. I did manage to sew up quite a few projects, and according to #TOPNINE my upcycling / refashion posts were pretty popular on my IG.
