The whole reason mixtape started and still exists is because of the online craft community. It all started with my love affair of the "Secret World" that is blogging back in 2004. I've lost sight of that over the years getting bogged down by paper work and the like. I try and keep my bloglines to under 100 peeps!!! One of my favorite blogs is Colette Patterns and reading over the past 15 posts (catching up on my unread 213) I came across this post on vintage bark cloth. I really admire dress makers, I don' t have the patience for it BUT I wish I did - I have wonderful friends that could help me if I ever decided to! Nic & Peta Pledger are the two beautiful & creative creatures!
