Well, it is cold here. That dang Polar Vortex hit earlier this year, but right now it feels like April. A brief reprieve for the bone chilling cold that is sure to come back soon. Thus…warm scarves! I made them […]
Sewing for me
There was another call for pattern testing that looked like something I might like to wear, so I held my hand up. There were a few issues with the bodice, but she got it figured out with help from the […]
When I drew this design up, it was supposed to be the wings on a Phoenix. Or the tail. I forget. I drew it at some point last fall (as in over a year ago, fall) when I was watching […]
Apparently, I was in a grey mood when I bought these fabrics! Serendipity, as less than 48 hours later we got our first snowfall and the skies were a leaden grey for days. I guess winter has arrived. I went […]
In the spring, I received a prize for participating in Skirt Fixation’s Adult Create Contest. I got 4th place, and they selected a very personalized gift for me. A gift certificate to Spoonflower. Perfect! I knew I wanted to create […]

This shirt is one that I sewed up at the retreat. I copied it off a RTW shirt that I had in my closet that was getting faded and had some holes in the front. I had it all cut […]
