I was impressed you had a haiku with “butt” in it. But then, I’m immature like that.

I knew you would appreciate that- you have a real eye for poetry! I was actually considering using “ass” instead of “butt,” but when I read it over a couple of times, I decided that “butt” was a funnier word. Say it a couple of times- butt, butt, butt. Much funnier than ass.

You MUST do a shirt with this on it. When monkeys fly out of my butt is one of my favorite sayings!

The only way anyone ever gets anything I make is if I screw up making something for myself. Am furious because my latest top is awful… but my mum wants it so I can feel less selfish. :)

I have to have a shirt like this! My mom is constantly asking me to sew some caftans for her and my youngest sister is hinting that I should sew her kids’ entire summer wardrobe.
I just found your blog recently and have to say I love it. Great clothes and great attitude. :)

Cool site. I look forward to seeing further purses.
My take on making your own handbag is that I haven’t seen very many that don’t look homemade and that’s the kiss of death for me. I look forward to seeing his tutorials.
