A Very Belated Thank You to the Bay Area Sewists
I've now been in Seattle for two months, which is just about the same length of time I've been thinking about writing this post. And, honestly, two months is far to long to wait to write a thank you, especially one to some of the most amazing people in the sewing community. But, you see,… Continue reading A Very Belated Thank You to the Bay Area Sewists

Colette Patterns Launch Party – Fall 2012
Saturday, September 22nd It's 4:30 pm, and I'm hemming my husband's shirt, my next MSN make, as I wait for Daiyami. I'm all ready to go - I've got on my new bow blouse and my Beignet.

Cañada College Meet Up
Monday, August 13th I'm running late again. I wonder how it is that I never seem to finish work in time, especially when there are sewing enthusiasts to meet tonight!
