I should buy a lottery ticket…
I’m considering myself to be quite lucky! A couple of weeks ago I won a giveaway (sewing machine feet) from Saturday Night Stitch. (Thank you again!)

Learning something new…
For the past few weeks I have been working on my Islander Sewing Systems, “MotorCity Express jacket“.

A Sewaholic Hollyburn… and the Evils of having a Fabric Stash!
It’s Indie Pattern Month at the Monthly Stitch. As is my tradition, this is the month that I dive into the Indie Patterns that I have collected over the last year. I have always wanted to try Sewaholic’s Hollyburn skirt but was always looking for the right fabric. Me Made May showed me that I do not have…

Whoot! Whoot! Whoot!
It’s time to announce the winners of last week’s giveaway! I used a List Randomizer on Random.org to pick the winners. I typed in all your names, pressed “go” and it randomly sorted your names, with the first two names being: 1. UtaC 2. Sewing with Scoobys I did the same for my two pattern names…
