I’ll be popping in less over the next six weeks as I prepare for my lower back surgery in early May and then take the time needed to recover well afterward. I’m also working hard to get several new recordings uploaded to my new YouTube audio reading channel before surgery, so my days are a little fuller than usual right now. Don’t worry—I’m not disappearing, just stepping back a little for a season. Please keep the community active, warm, and encouraging while I’m quieter here. Support each other, share your projects, celebrate progress, and keep the good spirit going during the days I’m absent. Don't forget to check out what's available in the Classroom. There is no shortage of projects to get involved in, so stay creative.

Here are some mockup photos showcasing my first Stitch to Style creation. I started simple with just one front yoke reimagined with a slow stitched cluster added over an upcycled scarf element.

Check in tomorrow for my first YT video in this series. https://www.youtube.com/@IckyChicDesigns

Can be huge. Can be tiny.

Have some fun and upcycle some old shirts into fashionable patches and pockets. Machine sew or slow stitch as you prefer.
