Summer Sewing

I'm caught up on custom orders for the moment, so I finally get a chance to sew for my own kids.

I finished these 2 dresses yesterday. It's so fulfilling when the girls actually LIKE the clothes I make them.

Latest Addiction

I have a new addiction....it's the round neck top/dress pattern that I bought from that*darn*kat
Thank you Katie for another awesome ebook!!

I've made a few for each of my girls & plan to make a bunch more in an attempt to use up my stash & raise some $$$$ in the process. The girls actually LIKE these & can hardly wait for me to get the buttons on them so they can try them on! I really like the fact that they can be layered in the fall for maximum wardrobe potential.

Here's just a couple that I've come up with so far. I have a couple that I used some beloved vintage fabrics to make, but they are in the wash, so that will be another post.

Back in the Saddle again

I've been MIA a bit lately due to some personal issues, but I will be blogging again regularly soon :-)

I'm going to take a new direction here & try to make this blog creative & inspiring. I get so much inspiration from the many blogs I read & would like to try to give some as well.

I will be including links to my favorite fabric shops and sharing my creations as well as the places I draw my inspiration from.

To start off, I am going to share my favorite place for online patterns. I met the creator of this site on a forum a couple years back & it's the first place I go when I need a new pattern, thanks Kim for creating it, I taught myself to sew with the ebooks you offer YouCanMakeThis.com.

Be warned tho, it's very addictive! Make sure you set up an account so you can earn points that that you use to get FREE ebooks yay!
