I need help!
I am finding I have serious questions that Mr. G.T. (Green Thumb) just doesn’t care to answer … so I have decided to turn to you. What do you say? I have this fabric – actually lots of this fabric.

When is a Sewaholic Hollyburn, not a Sewaholic Hollyburn?
Perhaps, when you almost don’t have enough fabric to finish it! I’ve been bustin’ through my stash and so far, have made a flowered vintage dress and a red Sewaholic Hollyburn.

I (heart) RED!!
The Monthly Stitch Challenge in February was “Miss Bossy” telling us what solid colour we must sew up. Miss Bossy’s commands for me were: yellow (which makes me look like the walking dead!), blue (which I love), or RED (which I really love). So lucky me, Miss Bossy was surprisingly kind and told me I had…

It’s Jungle January!
and I thank you, Pretty Grievances, for hosting this Adventure! Pretty Grievances invites us all to join Jungle January so we can “add animal to our life”. I don’t think I have ever worn or even owned any Jungle prints. I almost thought I wouldn’t be able to bag anything before Jungle January was over! Animal prints are…

Last post ….
… for 2014! The other week I showed you my housecoat, which I did up, mostly, without a pattern. This week I’ve got the PJ’s done. I’m using an EASY pattern, McCall’s M7060. I could have probably used the same bodice sloper I used for my housecoat, as there isn’t much to the PJ top,…
