It’s Earth Day my lovely readers, and do you know what that means? The end of the De-Stash Challenge!
I’ve kept my promise, I haven’t bought any fabric since the challenge began, on March 17th. Those of you who know me well, know that isn’t the easiest thing for me :-) I’ve only been seriously tempted […]
I’ve done quite a bit of sewing in my life… I’ve sewn everything from horse blankets to my duppioni silk wedding. I can make a tailored men’s dress shirt or a bed-size quilt. There are still fabrics that challenge me… I’ve come close to crying when I was sewing a faux-patent leather jacket (hint - […]
My mother has been writing about her part in creating a group of textiles as a tribute to my grandmother, who passed away last May. I thought I should let you know what I’ve been up to…

I have run into one little problem though…
I’ve bought a couple of dress patterns, (including this one) and would like to make […]
I love the way this dress looks on the pattern envelope:

But I’m not sure how it would look on me…. I’m 5′10″, with a proportionally long waist and a pear or “A” shaped figure - and I’m in my late-ish twenties :-)
Any opinions? I’ve got a new poll set […]
I wanted to mention that I’m not trying to make people feel bad by holding a De-Stash challenge! I’m just trying to be more mindful when I’m shopping :-) Have fun with your fabric stash - in fact, I want you to go and play in it!
