The fence in my garden was barely hanging on. It was here when I moved in 8 years ago and was well worn then. Let's just say, it had "patina". Look, that terrier puts herself in every picture. There were... Continue reading

1976 and The Garments with Options

Pink Visetti in the House
Image
I picked up the vintage Visetti that Steve custom restored just for me this weekend. My wonderful old Singer sewing table does not accomodate a built in machine but rather a tabletop. I took the box from my old Riccar... Continue reading

Whew! This project was a bear to complete. Of course I picked an old heavy upholstery fabric to pair with the thick bargello needlepoint that I completed. Add to that upcycled handles that had to be sewn on by hand,... Continue reading

My Riccar Sewing Machine

I love needlework, always have. It was so popular to embroider your jeans and workshirts when I was a teenager in the 1970's. I did a lot of that. I picked up this book at a thrift store quite a... Continue reading

It's been a year and a half since I moved my studio from a windowless room in my house to the light filled space it occupies now. I blogged about that move here and here and here. Without a doubt... Continue reading

It Just Makes Sense

I've been interesting in sewing since I was old enough to thread a needle. No doubt this creative spark was initiated by my mother. MamaPeach always made my dresses when I was little. It was a yearly ritual to go... Continue reading
