Hi friends! I hope you’re all well! I have several garments to share with you, but I’ve been busy getting ready for a trip to Southern California for Costume College and a vacation and I don’t have much time to take photos, so those dresses are waiting in the wings at the moment. I also […]
A Tour of My Sewing Room [the sequel]
Hello, friends! It has been so very long since I’ve taken you on a tour of my sewing room. I moved into my new space over a year ago and I wanted to get things “just right” before I shared it. I’ve been putting it off for a while, but scheduling myself on the […]
Notes from an [aspiring] Savvy Sewist
Nope, I’m not showing you a handmade garment this week. 🙁 It’s not that I have not been sewing — I am working on a few things at the moment — its that I’m a bit lackadaisical about it as of late. I go through stages of this, so it’s nothing new. Eventually I will […]
{tutorial} DIY Vintage Thread Spool Wreath
I had been looking for ways to decorate my sewing room when I came across this wreath on Pinterest. I thought this was a perfect sewing room decoration and was like: “Hey, I can make that myself!” This particular thread wreath is made with ribbon wrapped around wooden spools. It makes it look much fuller […]
Decorating Your Sewing Space
I find that creating a sewing room that showcases things that you love makes your space a place that you want to spend time in. It helps you get your creative juices flowing, and adds inspiration. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to have an eye-catching space. Use things you already have, […]
{tutorial} DIY Cutting Table
When I first started sewing as a little girl, I remember my mom and my grandma helping me cut fabric on a cardboard cutting mat on a bed. I also remember the days when I layed my fabric out on the floor to cut it out or in more recent years when I had to […]
Sewing Room Organization Ideas
As I mentioned previously in my first post about my sewing room, I have spent almost two years renovating, organizing and decorating my sewing space so that I could get it just as I like it. Much of my inspiration is from Pinterest, but I also found useful ideas on blogs and through Youtube. I […]
Journey into my sewing room
I really had not planned on showing off any photos of my sewing room until it was completely done, but as I am done with the main workshop area of it and I so wanted to show anyone who might appreciate it, I have decided that NOW is the time! 🙂 My sewing room is […]
Inheriting Grandma’s Notions
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 […]
Pattern Weights, Covers & Organizers
Apparently, I really like organizing and making things for my sewing studio. I also love pretty quilting fabrics with dressforms and sewing machines and beautiful dresses in which to make things out of. 🙂 I found a tutorial for these pattern weights on Pinterest: I used the same concept as in the tutorial, although mine […]
