It’s hard to believe our Spring Style Tour 2020 wrapped up just one month ago! Some days it seems like we were busy working on this just yesterday and others it feels like it was six months ago. None of us could have ever imagined how strange this year would start and how comforting “normal” would be come!
The timing of our Spring Style Tour ended up being such a blessing in disguise. It was just the distraction and burst of inspiration we needed, at a time when we needed it most. The Tour was something familiar we could look forward to each day and get us excited about a new season of sewing and making!
Let’s take a look back at all the amazing makes from this year’s Spring Style Tour. We’ve rounded up all the links to each post, and the fabrics and patterns used, to make revisiting your favorites quick and easy!
