these are all fantastic! thank you for the inspiration!! xx grace
Who knew maths would be such fun. Love them all!
I’m looking forward to embellishing gray sweatshirts this fall. Chiffon is a great idea. Aslo, black leather, lace or even bead embellishments would look funky on a gray sweatshirt.
Great tips, Carly.
