Today's theme for the #MadeWithWoolContest is Bags,Purses and Totes. I've been watching from the sidelines so far, but today I get to join in the fun.

Thank you Closet Case Patterns for featuring me on your blog. The response it's generated has been overwhelming. It's been especially gratifying to see the number of sewists who want to dive into menswear. I say it all the time.....if I can do this, anyone can. #Repost @closetcase.patterns with @make_repost

Today on the blog we have the first Sewist Spotlight of 2020 with Duane, @mainelymenswear. After he made the most beautiful Sienna maker jacket at the end of the year we checked out his blog and fell into a fascinating world of handmade life on the coast of Maine. Couture garments! Sailboats! Mini Schnauzers (meet Homer!) All wrapped up in a package of good information, a dose of humour and some seriously timeless style.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head over to the blog to read a great interview with this talented sewist! __________________________⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
