10 Questions with Sewing Blogger Tabitha Sewer

I am so excited to introduce you to this month’s 10 Questions Interviewee, Tabitha Sewer! Tabitha is pretty badass, guys. She’s a bright and colorful sewing blogger, a US Air Force veteran (over 10 years!), a college professor of business, and the most open, honest, and giving creative that I have yet to find on the internet.
