Camilla Neppl Huber, winner of the RegRemix contest, has kindly written up a pattern for her “Go to Italy, be a cobbler” design. If you know how to stitch and are looking for a new project, check it out– here’s the PDF. If you make something cool based on it, send me a picture! quinn [...]
Camilla Neppl Huber is the winner of the official RegRemix contest, with her amazing stitching of “Go to Italy, be a cobbler”! (Note in particular the shoes that form part of the black lace-like pattern around the design.)
