Well, at least my handmade organizers are ^_^ If you can get your hands on the newest (December 2010/January 2011) issue of Sew News magazine, you would see five organizer wallets featured in the cover.

My hair was pretty short at the time! The picture was taken in my office’s studio, hence the black… continue reading →
