OH WOW!, REALLY?

I can't believe that it's been EXACTLY one year since I last posted. Also, it's been 4 years since I created this blog. SEW RIDICULOUS ! I'll be back soon to actually post something. Besides, I do this to amuse myself. (no offense)

Thanks for being "sew"iable . . .

It's been a long time . . .

It's been a long time...Eric B. and Rakim (ahhhh, those were the days). O.k., so here I am attempting to update you. I have decided to make something...ANYTHING within the next 30 days. I will keep you posted. That's it.

Nothing New....(it figures)

Wow! I have nothing new to talk about. Oh, wait, I did order books. I ordered: "Twist and Twine" and "Carry Me". I expect to actually complete some projects, or at least one, before the year is out. Perhaps I'll give a review of these books once I receive them. That's it for now.

dropping in (like a bobbin, corny I know...sew, who cares)

O.k., so I suck at this blogging thing. Please forgive me. Perhaps someday I will get better. In the meantime, I have been cutting out patterns. Well, actually, I've been making patterns from some clothes I already own and making modifications where I see fit. Eventually, these patterns will actually become clothing. I will post here when this happens. Please don't hold your breath though, I wouldn't want that on my conscience.

Here I go again....

Hi!!! I just dropped in to see if I can still log in. COOL !!!! I can. I've been on a purging spree lately. I've been trying to rid of excess um...stuff. I did stop in to Joann's and pick up 3 patterns(.99cents each) and some fabric from the bargain bin. Someday, once the dust settles, I will be back(here) and off and running. The patterns I bought are Simplicity 2583, 2594, and 2633. I'm trying to steer away from the proverbial "t-shirts" and toward more feminine looking tops. Anyway, this is my little update for now.

thanks for dropping in (like a bobbin, corny I know...sew, who cares)

Serged edge using the "Singer Tiny Serger" . I could not get the pics much clearer than this. IF you look closely, you can see the edges sticking out from the serged edge that need to be trimmed. This serger does not trim the serged edges for you as you serge. You have to do it yourself.
