I didn’t realize just how many sewing blogs I follow until I started trying to list them all. So, my friends, I’m sharing some more today. Coletterie features Colette patterns. Dispaches From Whitcomb Street is featuring Self-Stitched September. Flutterby Stitches features a talented lady who specializes in FSL. New Vintage Lady will take you on a journey […]
Not a major accomplishment today, but I did manage to get the neckline of a gown mended. Hopefully, I can manage more next time. Thanks for stopping by. Are any of you doing the Mend and Make Do Monday project?
Too bad we can’t all get together and have one big sewing party. What we can do, is have a virtual sew and share. I’m going to share seven of the sewing blogs that I enjoy. A Fashionable Stitch Recent posts have been about making belts. Daffy’s Dream Daffy creates some gorgeous hand bags. Delfinelise […]
So far I’ve not managed to do this. Last week I felt like crap really bad and haven’t done much of anything. I don’t know if I’ll get anything mended today, but I have made progress. I’ve pulled a few things to start mending. I need to fix a zipper and put new hems […]

This is what my haul looked like right after being removed from the bag. The next picture is what I have after ironing it […]

It’s not fun. Splicing sheets, that is. I decided to cut three king sized sheets down to queen size. The first sheet worked just fine. I did all the trimming of the extra fabric first. I zoomed right along with the first sheet, but there was just something about the second and third that […]
