My Best Friends

I have never really outwardly shown the kind of love for inanimate objects than what I have for these two.  They are truly my best friends.  Meet Gingher Shears and Olfa Rotary.

They have been with me in my sewing room for many years, never to be brought to the forefront of recognition. 
Sure, sewing machines, irons and other fun loving friends come to mind when considering others I can’t live without.  But, I would not get anywhere, were it not for my two best friends.  These two have been instrumental in every stage of my garment making, from start to trimming.
This shout out goes to the true heroes of the sewing room.  Here’s to you Gingher and Olfa.

The Great Fabric Swap Challenge and a Pattern Review

By -

About a month ago I agreed to be added to a pool of folks for a fabric swap and be randomly paired with a swap partner.  We were required to exchange any piece of fabric from our stash. We were to sew it up in any way we felt best represents us and our esthetic. This group thing is bringing forth some serious sewing mojo out of me.  Because, I need, absolutely need, human interaction, not just online contact.  Combined with Periscope, this group provides the interaction of an IRL sewing group.  Okay, I think I have done my fabric justice, as well as made my swap partner proud. I present to you #thegreatfabricswapsmt finished garment.

Jersey Dress for my Daughter & Bootstrap Pattern Review

Wrangling in this child for this photoshoot/pattern review, was not as easy as I thought.   Since I was sewing a dress for her, I thought she would show up ready and willing to fit and take pictures whenever I wanted.  OOOOOhhh....but no!!  Going "live" on the internet for review and scrutinizing of her clothes isn't something your average person wants.  Everything has to be perfect, her hair, face, nails, mood, weight, and everything else you can think of when presented with the idea of being put on a quasi-chopping block.   This model-child doesn't have a problem walking a runway for designers.  Neither does she have a problem with self-esteem.  However, presented with a "sewing" blog and still shots that are there to be reviewed and analyzed is a game changer for sure.  I present to you my review of the Bootstrap Fashions Jersey Dress for Jennifer.....please be considerate and remember this is a HUMAN Child you are dealing with!!!
