I’m so excited by how many people are going to take part in our Banksia sewalong in September!! I’ve finally got the schedule sorted out, and it makes it feel even more real :)
Unfortunately, I got kind of carried away with the planning – and may be biting off a bit more than I can chew. But we’ll see!! There are heaps of things I want to cover, so I hope I manage to get through it all. This is just such a versatile pattern with so many possibilities for customization it was hard to cut me off.
I’ve decided not to say out loud how many versions I’ll be making – as I’m pretty sure that will induce a massive panic attack :) Instead, let’s just say I’m making “some” Banksia’s here hehe.
Okay, enough of my jabber – here is the plan!!
