What a great idea! I have my hubby’s old passport to play in. Thanks for the inspiration. I love hand stitching. I have sewn all my life and it seems to be coming back into fashion. 😊💐💕

Dear Caterina I love your videos I could stay and watch you create for hours, it's so amazing what you are making, it is magical.
