I had a most excellent experience at the Hancock pattern sale – and by that I mean I got all but one pattern on my list, and said pattern was probably the lowest priority of them all, so I really did get all of the patterns I was totally craving. Also, Hancock is next to … More Patterns!
So, though I had decided that my stash was quite full, circumstances dictated that maybe it wasn’t quite full enough. Circumstances being the new need to sew for others (in addition to my original two competition dresses, I now have to add a third for a new event I will be skating – team dance … More Fabricliciousness
So… yeah… the age has gone up this week. And while my joints are screaming in protest, I did get some cool toys to help make up for it! Firstly, I got this awesome bag a while ago but it was given “as a birthday gift” so I have held off showing it until now. … More Getting a Little Older
Alternative post titles were going to be something along the lines of “I Love My Mommy” or “My Mother is an Enabler.” Because last weekend when I went to the store to get more lining material for skating costumes (a necessary purchase, and mostly for my paying clients) my mother came along. And when I … More Practical Fabrics
I love getting things in the mail. It is so terribly exciting. Especially when said mail is coming from halfway around the world. One of the best things about having my sister study in Europe is I can force her to get cool stuff for me she loves me and sends me awesome gifts. Though perhaps … More I Love Getting Packages
Ok, well, I wasn’t planning on buying quite so much fabric at the end of the year, but for some reason the end-of-year sales offered up better options to me than any of the Black Friday or pre-Christmas sales did. Most of my family gave me “fabric money” as holiday gifts, and so I went … More The Last Great Fabric Haul of 2011

A year ago I was pretty much told, in no uncertain terms, that the person I had considered to be my best … More Life is like a Ravensburger
Well, since the events of last week were a bit devastating for me, I was a bit bummed this weekend. The sewing machine and serger have been moved to my parents house (perhaps a blessing in disguise? As I will be home quite a bit the next few weeks due to the holidays), but have not been … More Confessions of a Stash: December Weekend Haul
Having only been introduced to Burda this year, I had no idea this was coming, but I thought I would share. The English BurdaStyle website is having a month-long of awesome give-aways. I am hoping they continue to post their giveaways here, but if not it should be able to see what’s offered on the … More BurdaStyle December Giveaways!
Well, Saturday shopping trip didn’t turn out as I had hoped. In fact, it didn’t turn out at all. There had been a plan to go to the LA Garment District (can you say fabric heaven?), but it got unscheduled sort of last minute. So all of my planning was for naught, and my Black … More Saturday Shopping Bust
