I cannot believe I did this! I have been sewing since I was a small child, mostly from commercial patterns and I have never ever made this mistake before! I bought the wrong size pattern! This is the culprit! Has anyone ever done this before? I bought the pattern at Hancock’s and I know…
Gosh I can’t believe we are almost half way into August! At the beginning of the month I stopped by Whipstitch to pick up some manly fabric to make a gift for Hubby’s birthday, I had to get some things for myself too! I bought the Megan Nielsen Banksia top pattern as well as the…
Y’all I am getting $h!t done this week! I have been unpacking the last of the boxes (we moved in to this place in January…). I have been cleaning so much I would make Martha proud! This morning I got up and painted one of the corners of our 2nd bedroom/office, this morning the room…

Its day 8 of SSS and I’m still real cameraless, I have been keeping track on my phone though so you will have lots of SSS pictures when I get my camera back. Readers, I discovered Pinterest this week and I’m so addicted to it, I’ve been pinning everyday, so often that it sometimes distracts…
Hello readers! It’s September 1st and you know what that means, SELF STITCHED SEPTEMBER!!!! I’m very excited for this challenge. I participated last fall and loved it. Last year the challenge made me realize where the holes were in my handmade wardrobe and this year I hope that I have filled some of them in.…
Here is one more picture of the red dress at the wedding and in my hand is the T from the Tech Tower groom’s cake. If you don’t know it is a GT tradition to steal the T off of the Tech Tower or anywhere else there is a T. Any way today…
