Well that’s irritating!
Isn’t it frustrating when you’re half way through a project, or in this case two, and then you find that your overlocker just ran out of thread? It’s really damn frustrating to me, because a regular spool of cotton will be gone in no time on an overlocker, so now I’ve got to [...]

Sewing is such fun, I really do love it.
First off I’ll preface today’s post by saying I feel terrible. My stomach is all upset, I’m sneezing and sniffling, and my shoulder is killing me for no other reason than I can figure out save I must be sleeping on it badly. It’s been like [...]
It’s an interesting question for all who are creative, so let’s discuss!

When I say ‘That time of year’ I am referring to two different things that happen to coincide. One of those events is that last Thursday I put in for my tax return, and should have it back in the next two weeks. The other event is my local fabric store’s annual 1/2 price fabric [...]
