A SHOUT OUT TO MARY ANN! (and my #mmmay15)
A few days ago I was speaking with Mary Ann, the accountant at our office, about the “world” of sewing and sewing blogs. She asked me how I started and I told her that for about a year before I started blogging, I was just a sewing blog stalker. Then I felt bad only clicking and…

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle … Refashion? (and my #mmmay15)
In preparing for Me-Made-May’15, I discovered a few things when cleaning up my closet a few weeks ago. Such as: I still have the shoes that I wore to my wedding almost 27 years ago in a box in my closet. I find that amazing for some reason. I put them back safely. I have…

You are too late to see the “birds”!

It’s not that bad, I’ve seen UFO’s older than this …
… my UnFinished Object is only from April! I found it and two others when I was cleaning up my pattern and fabric stash! I’m surprised I never finished this shirt right away as I love this fabric! Then again, I am glad I didn’t finish it right away as by the time I did…

Quiet Please! Studying in Session!
I have definitely been busy, not sewing, but studying. I have been working on my Bodice fitting shell! When done, I hope to use it as a guide for fitting other patterns or even, some day, designing some patterns for myself! A while back, I bought myself the Craftsy courses “Fast-Track Fitting” and “Fast-Track Fitting: In The…
