About the Designer: Rachel Anderson
I learned crochet from my grandmother, knitting from my father, and was thoroughly put off sewing by my mother because she was so good I couldn’t hope to match her skills. I can manage buttons, hems get Wundawebbed, cross-stitch doesn’t count (haha, a pun).
BELLISSIMO! Me ne faccio uno tutto per me al più presto!
Grazie!
