And I think it worked! Look how many of you there are now. What’s the giveaway, you ask? I’m not sure yet. It will [...]

Fabric in Boston: Winmil Fabrics and Sew-fisticated

by Tasia on 25. Aug, 2010 in Fabrics

It’s a good thing I bought fabric in Boston, or this would be a picture-less post! After losing my photographs to a tragic ‘Card Read Error,’ one of my first thoughts was that I would have no pictures for my Fabric Shopping on Vacation posts. It was almost as sad as losing all of our [...]

by Tasia on 18. Aug, 2010 in Tips

Dear readers, I just wanted to let you know, I’m not a perfect seamstress. No, really. And I get very easily distracted. Not because I’m slow or unfocused, I just usually have a few things on the go at once, and float from task to task. Computer’s on, laundry’s on, and there are at least [...]
