    Sewing Machine buying

    I’m going to say something that may be counter intuitive to my ethos: Don’t buy that sewing machine. What?! I thought she was a sewing teacher and trying to get more folks sewing. I am and I do with a caveat. I don’t want you to buy the mini sewing machine or that hand held…

  • Using a basic block EasyT to create a dress

    I was gifted the class the EasyT by SewHere.com a few years ago. I created woven and knit teeshirts and dresses cut to my own measurements. When my mind wandered to caftans thanks to the hashtag Caftans and cocktails it came up with a shape I couldn’t quite find in a store bought or indie…

  • The Kitchen Refresh

    Once upon a time we moved to Los Angeles, it was a big move and one we have been so thankful to have made work for our family. It wasn’t easy, we made lots of moves for financial reasons, educational ones and once unplanned circumstances but made it to homeownership again. We searched for a…

  • Washi Dress Expansion Pack
