My kind of craft and sewing projects are ones that I can finish in under 30 minutes…. so continue reading if you’re a little interested in quick sewing projects…. or if you’d like to lengthen a dress. 🙂 Last November, during the “black Friday” sales promotions, I bought myself a little sewing machine (my referral link) for my Christmas present.
