I run for …
Vintage Sewing Machines! I didn’t know I did, but it has been proven that I do. Ever since I was given Ilona and Maria, I’ve been bitten by the “VSM bug”. (It’s all my Mom’s fault!!!) I’ve been browsing “for sale” sites on line and learning as much as I can about various Vintage Sewing Machines.…

Ilona’s Future’s so Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades!

My Denim Skirt Dilemma.
Alas, I am still working on my Sewaholic Hollyburn to Denim Skirt makeover. I have been pinning/unpining and trying on/taking off and puzzling over/avoiding my skirt for the last three days now, trying to decide what to do. Has there ever been so much indecision in my life!? (I hope not! I hope there is only indecision with…
