Brainstorming Session

You guys are the best! I can't believe how much good info you guys have to share. . . and how many of you feel the same way. Whew! That makes me feel like perhaps I am not as crazy as I at first thought. But now you are all in trouble. Now that I know how much information I can get from you, I will probably be asking you for much more. Starting today. Hee, hee!So, I am trying to work on a pattern

It's Gonna Cost HOW MUCH?!?!?

I usually don't notice how much fabric costs, nor do I want to know. As I have been told by a few others, it's cheaper than therapy, right?But there are a few times when sewing seems too expensive. One of those times is when I agree to sew something for someone else in exchange for money.For several years I have contemplated selling items that I sew. I have thought about it and thought about it

Birthday Dress

What to do, what to do when your best friend's daughter has a birthday?Whip up one of these, of course.I have been loving knits as of late. Soft, stretchy and BEST OF ALL? You don't have to finish the edges! Wahoo! I think this is my least favorite part of sewing. When I first started sewing, it seemed like this was the part that always ruined the finished product. I'm getting a little better at

I Was Featured. . .

Big 4 in Theatres

The premise is not a new one. The kiddie bands and even Duran Duran and Green Day have done it. A one off event: Play a live concert in a movie theatre. Big Screen. Surround Sound. Dolby. It's not as if we headbangers haven't done something similar. On the small screen of course. A nice long weekend. Plenty of food and drink. Someone's TV - the bigger the better. And many many DVDs. Bootleg live

Wardrobe Wednesday #6

Good Morning!It has finally become spring here and it is making me smile!Now, let's just hope that we at some point get to summer. . .Alrighty then, here is what I whipped up this week: This little shrug was too easy to make and looks pretty good.

BOOM Big Issues: GQ.com

BOOM Big Issues: GQ.comThis is such a well written article by Sean Flynn. It's truly moving and brought tears to my eyes. Never forget, men: fathers, sons, brothers, husbands - died on that blazing oil rig in the Gulf. The birds are sad, and yes people are losing their livelihoods. But in reality, they are "able" to work - it won't be easy to move or retrain or find another "job". But they are "

Pay it Forward

So, Lisa S. from 'So You Think You Can Quilt' has inspired me. She is a giver. As a matter of fact, all those fabulous quilts that she whips up have all gone to someone else. Wow. Generous.I have always wanted to donate more with my sewing-- but something else always seems more important at the time. You know, like fantastic Halloween costumes or Pattern Makeover Month. Important stuff like that.

My Favorite 'Stuff'
