• A man who talks…

    Sewing, for me, is quite a long involved process, pulling my sewing machine table and my equipment boxes and my project box out of the closet, setting everything up, hunting down that comfortable chair, fending off two cats, and the family … and all those other interruptions. Then afterwards packing it all up and putting…

  • It’s done! Well… Almost!

    Perhaps you recall, before Christmas, I was working on my pea coat.  Well I am back at it again and really close to finishing! I really like how thick this material is (wool Melton) and with the right needle and thread and some pressing, it’s so easy to sew and the seams lie so flat!…

    I got a text from home when I was at work today.  It simply said “Your person is in the mail”. It took me a minute to understand, but then it gave me a big SMILE.  It meant my “Dritz:  My Double Deluxe” dress form had arrived at the post office!  Alas I would have…
