Ahhh, the Lotus Duster. In a lot of ways I consider this design my "breakthrough" - when it was first published for free on my blog it was what really got people noticing Morale Fiber, and it was also a huge lesson for me in how to write, grade, and lay out written patterns. 6... Continue Reading →
