National Sewing Month!

Are you excited!??! I am!

So if you would like, you can post a link in a comment of something that you've made(sew-d) and at the end of the month I'll make a post of everything that's been sent in. I think it will be really fun.

Not sure if it was mentioned in a Groton paper, but The Early Settler is going out of business (sad) so I will let you know where and when my items will be available again in a store.

I've moved to a north carolina(!!!!!!) andI'm going to check out some of the local art stores/galleries and see if they consign and ill let everyone know if I'm able to consign with one

The last clothing item I made turned out really badly so since I've sewn and learned some new tricks since then, I was pretty optimistic about making this skirt. It seemed really easy while reading it onl...

I received an email later that day with 2 choices that I could pick from: Iron Man or Nick Fury.
