For this project I used one sheet of backsplash tiles, goo gone, tacky glue, craft felt, and craft scissors. I wish I had used work gloves as part of this project to protect my hands.

I fell in love with this pattern and decided I was going to whip our up to fight the patriarchy  as the pattern is contemporary to the United States Suffragette movement.  I made a mock up after scaling out the pattern to realize while it is a very adjustable pattern, it was scaled for a 38 inch bust and I am a 45 inch. The pattern thankfully is fairly simple to adjust for a larger bust.This is a great example of why we should alwa...
