Band-It!

by SewMagical A friend of mine went to a costume event not tong ago. As part of her outfit, she needed an armband with some text and a small design. So, of course, I made one for her. Afterward, she told me how the armband had attracted �the attention of someone who runs a monthly social event. �It turns out she had been looking at having armbands made for various staff members to wear, to show their jobs.
