It takes a bit of time to really find out what works best so taking your time is a sensible one. I have rearranged my sewing room (again) simply because it is so darn hot I want the sofa bed in the coolest part of the room. The table is now set away from the glare so hopefully I will be able to work better during the daylight hours. That is when I…[Read more]

I decided to try to finish the outer edge of the pocket bag (Seashore Sundress) with French seams, and it worked! Yea!!!

I can’t wait until I get to set up my room. I am deliberately taking my time to set it up as I want. I think the room is about 8X11. I am so excited to get out of the nasty basement. It is so dirty there and hard to keep the machines clean. (Of course, I don’t mean my threads all over.) 🙂

Heidi, I’ll weigh in here… As I sew, I carefully sort the little stringy scraps from scraps that I could get, say about a 3″ x 4″ piece out of, or any straight strip, if it’s fabric I love. I put these in a big plastic bag, where they sit in the bottom of the guest room closet for a year or so. Then one day, when I’m cleaning house and feeling…[Read more]

Last night I sewed up 3 pair of Sleepover bottoms with fleece. Kids were pleased. Also made a fleece Dallas Stars blanket for youngest boy and a Texas Rangers fleece pillowcase for older boy from jammie scraps. 😛

Today I am finishing the large Messenger Bag from LTTS for a friend after making a second trip to the store for proper hardware.…[Read more]

Just finished a red satin sarafan (traditional Russian pinafore) for my 4-year-old’s Russian school concert in January. I was dreading the task because I had to draft my own pattern and I was a bit scared of the satin, but it ended up being a very pleasant sew. I had a sarafan that my grandmother had made for me years and years ago, so I studied…[Read more]

I finally got my sew-jo back (with a vengeance too) and we are departing in an hour for the airport to go visit the inlaws. No sewing for me for a week! I packed some knitting to keep myself busy but I just got some new knits to make leggings for the girls and I really want to do that!
