I'm watching: Here We Go I'm learning how to: Work chain stitch
Blue and white is a classic combination that is truly timeless. Taking cues from the blue and white pottery made in Delft in the Netherlands, this necklace is an easy project that is quick to stitch and make up.
You can easily make this in a weekend, so you'll have something new to wear next week. Who knew Monday blues could be a good thing?! 💙
