The Hazards of an Ill-Conceived Fabric Stash

10/2/2015

I’m in the midst of relocating and organizing my sewing space to a room with more light, but one that is also a wee bit smaller.  That means that I really have had to rethink things as my previous basement sewing space doesn’t translate fully to my new room.  Moving and setting up my space is […]

Inheriting Grandma’s Notions

05/24/2013

Well, I have been languishing taking photos of myself in my latest self-made garments…. it just seems like I’ve been so busy since we returned from our trip to New Mexico.  I do not think I will take anymore client orders for a while.  I just have too many things I have (and want!) to […]

Adding to my fabric stash!

02/27/2013

I am a bit addicted to buying fabric as of late…. and the cause for my obsession is Fabric Mart.  You would think that I work as a publicist there the way I go on and on about the deals I get there!  I have been buying fabric from there for about a year and […]
