  • I'm thrilled to share photos and details about the September edition of MAKE29 today. On 9/22 at 11AM PST I'll be selling 29 handmade foldover clutches, every bit of which were sewn by me. This edition was originally scheduled for MARCH. And then there was a fabric shipping hold-up. And then the ampersands sold out…
