About

I am a 39 year old married woman with two daughters who has FINALLY decided to dust off the sewing machine I got for Christmas eight years ago and teach myself how to sew!

I like Star Trek, going to Renaissance Festivals and just about anything that gives me an excuse to get dressed up or wear a costume.

I sent you a friend request because I figured since we are both teaching ourselves to sew, if I find any good tutorials or tips I send them to you. Plus, I like your project...maybe I can learn something from ya.

Thanks for the fave and the comment. I browse a lot of sewing blogs. There are really good tutorials on some of them.

Your projects look good.

I too am teaching myself to sew. I've been at it now since October. It's going pretty good I must say.
