Mini Jarrah Tester Roundup

Mini Jarrah pattern tester roundup

At last, it’s time for us to show off the Mini Jarrah tester roundup makes with you!! We’re constantly amazed and filled with joy seeing our testers sew up mini patterns for their children. There’s still time for all our northern friends to sew up a cosy layer for the last hurrah of winter, and for us here in Australia, what a perfect time to get ready for when it cools down a bit!  We hope you enjoy all of our mini-makes made by our ever-so-talented testers!
