  • Day #23 – Stressful September

    On the ninth day and every day after in September, the universe conspired to keep me from my sewing.  It went to lengths of great extreme.  A family member was hospitalized with a very serious illness.  I took in the grandbaby for a week.

  • Day #5 – Sew-crastinating or Procrasti-sewing

    Either way you want to say it, I did it on the fifth day of my sewing challenge. I married the Big Banana some thirty-plus years ago.  I thought the sweetest, most loving thing would be to use my sewing skills for him. He finally agreed to letting me make him some boxers, or one…

  • Day #4 – Craftsy Continuing Ed

    On the fourth day of my sewing challenge, I took advantage of the free video workshops offered by Craftsy in honor of Labor Day. I previewed the class offerings on the night before and then opened my Chromebook with a plan of attack early Monday morning.

    On the third day of my sewing challenge, I decided to act on lessons learned from Day #1. I sat down with patterns, notes and pen to perform a postmortem on the two garments I constructed.

  • Day #2 – Fabric Shopping

    This I learned: A vast majority of the population knows nothing about the fabrics they wear every day.

  • Day #1 – Curvy ‘Mingos

    On this, the first day of September, I was inspired to sew and sew and sew.  While working on a client’s custom garment, I discovered some fabric that would be perfect for my curvy young friend.
