This happened yesterday, so I'm a happy man today! Bye bye miserable wet cold Spring.....hello Summer. #mainelydad ,#somessound12.5, #woodenboatbuilding
Look out! Dawn and Maria have asked me back! We'll talk about my sewing journey, the blog, tailoring, menswear, sewing triumphs and sewing disasters. It's all live and unscripted tomorrow at 7:30 pm Eastern time. #mainelydad , #menwhosew , #imakemyownclothes ,#thatsewingblab
