New Blog Site

     I had started a blog on WordPress a few weeks back but really didn't care too much for it, so now I am starting over here!

     Recently I have begun sewing again, something I have enjoyed doing since I was a girl.  My mother helped me make my first dress when I was 10 years old.  I am sure that somewhere I have a black and white photo, but who knows where!  :-)

     My journey back actually began in July.  Pattern Review was having a contest called "Fabric Stash".  I entered and made three tops.  One of them I modified and I had never done that before so it was a big step.  I enjoyed the challenge and was pleased with the end result.

     After those projects I broke off again for a while but I have just begun a top that is going to be super.  I love the pattern I am using and the fabric.  The buttons are vintage and were in a bag I purchased through Tophatter Auctions.  Which I thought would be for my scrapbook projects.

     The reason this project will be "super" is that I am going to take my time and sew carefully and not get in a rush to finish it "now"  A bad habit I have.






     These are the July projects for the Fabric Stash contest.





     Here is the fabric and pattern for my current project.  Everything is cut out and ready to sew!
