Quilted Serger Cover

  I finally made a beautiful quilted cover for my serger! I love everything about it: the red corduroy, the Japanese heart with typewriter fabric, and the small strips of linen.

You Know Things are Heating Up...

   ...When you have to start ordering labels by the hundreds!

Superhero Capes

   Nothing tickles my fancy more than someone I know requesting me to design and sew a particular item for them. Luckily this was also a very fun project! I made the little guys cape with a big "X", which starts his name, and then made a few extra to sell on Etsy. I couldn't help but use super cool, shiny satins and a big yellow star- how fun?! There's only a few, so grab them before they're gone! 

Special request for Mr. X

Corduroy in Black and White

   I can't decide what I like more, the fact that the polka dot fabric is corduroy, or the polka dot and zig-zag designs in general!

My New Serger!

   It's been much too long since I've blogged, but don't worry because I've been busy using my new overlock machine! Not only was I lucky enough to be gifted this beautiful new machine, but it came from the very person who taught me to sew which gave way to this passion that I've had- thus it is a very meaningful gift that I will cherish.   

Isn't she a beauty? Threading the needles couldn't be easier thanks to the color-coded diagrams. The booklet also has pictures of specific problems with the stitching and tells which needles' tension to adjust, which as you know can really help you get the machine back to the right tension and sewing properly in much less time than troubleshooting on your own.

Although my website is currently under construction please take a moment to check it out! Ultimately I'd love for the website to be a great tool for showcasing my sewing work and also a a way to link my blog and Etsy pages, but for those of you who've ever created a web page you know the time that it takes to design and edit everything. It will blossom through time I'm sure, and thank you for looking!
