SUMMER SEWING 2017

The schedule may be a little erratic, but Thursday afternoon or evening, Friday morning, and Saturday morning are your best bets.

 Then again, if you have a week away (or I do), we can alter dates on a weekly basis.

There is a 10 minute drop-off zone in the parking spot in front of Vivian Lane - great for bringing your machine up to the studio before parking your car!

Special day

🎉Three Generations 🎉

Although this is only 3 of the gals pictured, the day was special because all - guys, gals and babe #2 - brought their hugs and laughs. I am so..o...o... lucky! Thanks, Family! I love you to bits!!

Yeah! Eseosa has now completed her practise skirt!

This is a super way to test out the fit of your patter design. Once you have measured and created your pattern on recycled or inexpensive broadcloth, curtain lining, whatever you have on hand - baste (i.e. sew together with long, easily removable stitches) the pieces together, test fit, add your zipper, test fit again.

If all is well, pull out the basting and use the cloth pieces for a template for your REAL skirt fabric! Durable, easy to roll up and store for using over and over again.

Adjusting the pattern - adding pleats, pockets gores etc. Is easy to do without remaking the whole template!

The ultimate in homestead gardening....

I have just taken this photo of our garden peas-high and healthy despite the worst June drougt in forty years. Go figure!

If you have any arable land at all, take a moment to check out the website below:

Well, they DO live in California, not our zone 4/5 area of Canada, but many of their ideas and events are food for the mind, not to mention the soul and the tummy.

The next time I see yet another parking lot of pavement laid, I may have a tiny bit more in my personal arsenal of knowledge to combat the tragic loss of farmland.
