I have been sewing from the early age of 5 and absolutely love it! I have always restyled any of the clothes that I purchased to reflect my own personal taste and style since I was a young teenager. That was also about the time I started creating my own clothes, from patterns that I made myself with the help of my mother.
I now buy patterns to make a lot of my clothes; but I usually change the pattern in some way to make it reflect my style and body shape. I also love to embroider my clothes in fashionable way to give them that couture look.

Re: How do you store your thread and other sewing notions?

I am not lucky enough to have a sewing room right now. I am using my living room which thankfully is very large. My sewing machine and serger is right next to my desk and P.C. along with my embroidery machine.

I keep all my sewing thread, quilting thread, embroidery thread and all my bobbins in an old card catalog; that the libraries used before they cataloged all the books on computers.

We got this when our library switched over around 15 years ago, but I have also seen one at a rummage sale. They’re great for sewing thread and work great for bobbins too because my husband made dividers for my bobbins. He even took out several drawers and made larger drawers for my embroidery thread. I also have extra drawers for misc. items that aren’t used all the time.

Before I got the card catalog I used a plastic cart with 4 drawers that I got from Kmart. We just put in dividers in it and it worked well for all my sewing equipment
