Three (almost three) Out of Four Done!
Let me explain… This past week our household was hit with the worst “COLD” in its history. It started with our Daughter, then Me, then Mr. Green Thumb. It hasn’t hit our Son yet, but Heaven help us if he gets it as he is in the middle of a University term and can’t afford…

Progress? So far – Two out of Four! (and the DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER Challenge button’s up!)

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. Specifically, an “Addison Jersey Knit Chevron” in Hunter green and in Red. 85% polyester and 15% rayon.…

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. Next I thought I would make a black Sewaholic Hollyburn – you can see the link to the pattern company here: Sewaholic Hollyburn. I…
