Stitched up this beauty over the weekend using my new Janome HD9QC! Isn't she riveting? 😉 This is a pattern hack for the Burcham crossbody...probably our most versatile pattern! One of our very talented community members, @SonjaBellRabb , came up with this hack, and I absolutely love it. I recorded my process, so I'll post a tutorial soon!
