Row.. Row.. Row Along with Moda Fabrics

Happy Friday everyone! Remember the fun Row Along pageant during last year's Moda Schoolhouse? Well, Moda Fabrics, along with their 24 designers invited us to sew along this fun event. We've sewn up our favorite rows from the All in a Row book to show you today (along with a fun questionnaire), so let's get started!
