S Sew Together Session  May 27, 28!


It's great when you are with friends of like mind who love the same things you do.  Well this weekend time to capitalize on that idea.

Time to Sew Together!!


I sent out the invites actually it was a series of text and phone calls and created a buzz for myself that is very uplifting!  I am so excited. 

The way I have envision this;  everyone will come over about 6 to 7 people and bring what ever project they are working on and sew in the same room together.  I just love this idea!   

JN is going to make a apron for her make up job.  She was asked to do the make for the  brothers who will be on screen at our Regional Convention!  I am so happy for her.  
AA will be making curtains she is getting things ready  for her redecorating month. She said for us not to look for her in June because that is the time she set aside to redecorate her house and curtains are a big part of it.  

DK I think she will be working on dresses.    I could just scream with excitement.


I have invited some that may just sit about a watch and learn.   

The Sew Together is a free session and a great way to  showcase other aspect of the business that will take off!

Love to demonstrate how the Sip and Sew will take place.  Unique to me I can set up at the person home who will host the Sip and Sew.  I feel that is a good direction to go into.  People are comfortable at home or at a friends house.  I have no venue to host these right now and this is my DIY  solution for these events.   Right now I am using my old sewing machines and soon I hope to have 4 new sewing machines to be used for these parties.

The sewing classes will take place at my house since it will be held in a series of three classes two weeks apart.  Oh... the prospect of sharing this gift with others makes me smile all the time.

Meanwhile..  I need to sew everyday. I was recently subscribed to the you tube channel of Brittany J Jones.  Sew 30 methodology is working for me.  30 minutes a day every day is exactly what I needed to get me going.   As a results I have been hard at work on



This dress pattern has been  laid out and ready for sew for approx 1 year.  I remember when I laid it out I was distress because every time  I use this pattern I do not like the result. So the finished items is use  as a house dress or pajamas. On the Pattern is says  to use knit fabric and I decided to disregard that and use a beautiful satin print fabric.  Then i was afraid that it was the wrong thing to do but it was too late it was already cut out. 


 I did not want to throw it away so it just sat in the project box.  I finally completed it and it is wonderful.  I changed the neckline a bit and I am so happy with it.  Of course the fabric has a lot to do with that.  A bit too short but that is what leggings are for! 




I realize of the dress the only part that truly needs that stretch of the knit is the cuff band.    So with the knowledge I will use this pattern again and make the necessary adjustment to the cuff. 

i have lots more to share.  

Talk to you soon  Remember to Learn something new everyday and then teach it to someone else!

My discovery!

As a little girl I did not play with dolls, did not play house. I climbed trees and explored how things worked. Tried to make my bike do things it was not meant to do. My mother complain when I was a toddler she would dress me in frilly dresses to play and I would prompty find mud or dirt. My mother and father had a loving relationship but I really did not see my father much. He worked the night shift. I had a close relationship with my mother. She taught me to crochet and make clothes. She kept a beautiful home and was a great cook. I felt that my father did not appreciate her enough so I decided that I would not get married and deal with someone who did not appreciate me. When my mother died it totally crippled my father. I realized just how much he appreciated her. When she first died he would just sit in a chair and just stare for hours. Finally I started talking to him and he revealed just how much he needed her. Then I decided that I should not get married because I wou

WHY DID I DO THAT?

We were awakened at 6:40 with the ringing of the telephone. Usually when the phone rings my Hubby turns to me and says " Are you expecting a call?" This time he just got up and answered the phone. His daughter was calling to tell him that her grandfather was vomiting blood. We immediately got up and dress and was at the house before the ambulance was there. I just stood back and stayed out of the way. But that did not last long because Hubby did not know what to do. His father started with the " I don't want to bother anybody?" crap that he says when he thinks he is about to die. I just asked some questions. When did you start vomiting blood? 4:30 How many times did you vomit? Once maybe twice Where were you when you vomited? In the bathroom it's in the garbage can you can look at it. I went back into the living room and waited by the door for the ambulance to arrive. I told Todd tell the ME exactly what he said about vomiting. ME arrived and went to work. H

Estate Sales -Diary

Sydney Estate Sales has been had estate sales for the past 22 years in western PA. This was my first time going to an estate sale done by her. I will be keeping an eye on her website from this point on. There was a beautiful hallway mirror that I just loved. Some of the scroll work around the mirror was broken and it was extremely heavy but I just loved it. $10.00 I did not have my car and it was too heavy. So I did not get it. Lots of items that could be used in a tea party. I did get some Japanese china snack sets. Hand painted. There was also a mirror bar. At least I think it was a bar. The front door were touch release and inside were 2 glass shelves. not a single mirror broken or scratch or chipped. $25.00. Once again I could not carry it home other wise I know that would have been mine. So I am hoping that both of those items will still be available when she does her super sale on Jan 3. I will save my shopping money so I can get them or something better if possible. My sister t
