Can you believe 2021 has come and gone? I love looking back at the year to see what all we did here at Made for Mermaids. We released 43 patterns (not including freebies!), added the wonderful Aaronica to our team, grew our Facebook community, started a TikTok, hosted 5 new sew-a-longs, had a fun capsule contest, added some new gorgeous faces to our tester pool, updated a ton of patterns to include projector files, and more! Thank you so much for sharing your year with us.
I hope 2022 brings us all lots of inspiration, more uninterrupted sewing time, the confidence to tackle new sewing skills, and endless wins at thread chicken. 😉 Cheers, mermaids!
