I only failed on the last one, although I did take photos later of what … Continue reading Me Made May 2018
Magnuson is fashion meets function, with four useful pockets, a cinched waist, side slits, and a stylish collar. The insides are all finished flawlessly - no serger required! Every seam is enclosed when you follow the instructions. The waistband casing is on the inside as well, which keeps any distracting strings hidden.
The past several days, I've been coping with a broken A/C unit at work. It should be fixed shortly, but I've been surviving pretty much by wearing the same shorts to work, hahaha.
