About Me

My photo
My mother was an expert seamstress and often did alterations on costly garments. She once told me that I would learn more about sewing by taking a well made garment apart than I would from any pattern. How true I discovered this statement was! Recently I was looking over a pattern that a friend gave me. She wants me to help her sew aprons for Christmas gifts. After studying the sewing instructions a bit I came to a familiar conclusion; if I purchased a finely crafted apron it would not be put together this way. Who writes these instructions anyway?!

new tote bag! A client had an old mail bag that had belonged to a family member and we made a tote and cosmetic bags utilizing it as well as making a cool and functional memorial. The belt that we used as straps had also belonged to this dear deceased one.
