My mom was an amazing seamstress. During the summer, she would take my sister and me to the fabric store for us to pick out patterns and fabric for the clothes that she would make us for the school year. She knew I loved lace and ribbons on my dresses and would always modify patterns to include these embellishments. The Dashing Cables Socks are inspired by all the little details my mom adorned to my dashing dresses!
