RTW Fast
I will admit that I've found myself at the mall over the month and I have to say that it is getting a lot easier to turn my nose up at RTW especially when looking closely at the labels. With the exception of the scuba knit skirt, all the items I made this month were made in better quality fabrics that I can find in the retail landscape. Sad, but true. There's a whole lot of man-made mystery fabrics out there.
