Momma and Grandma who loves life, my family,my daughter's fiance' and being an RN, having the chance to make someones absolute worst day just a little brighter.. My mom taught me to sew when I was around 10 and by the time I was 12 I was making all of my own clothes. I was blessed with her having the patience of a Saint and the one sentence I remember to this day was, "Slow that machine down! There's still no one here to race with you." I was also blessed to have been a teenager in the great Hippie days and when I wanted to make an outfit out of some kind of "different" fabric, if it wasn't perfect I just said "I meant to do that! Far out, huh?"But I really did love it then and I only love it more now. I'm so happy to have found this site so I can pick up where I left off and pick up some new tips as well. My very best I wish to you all and 'm so looking forward to making new friends and learning, learning, learning!!!!!

Re: Ribbon Artistry
There's certainly no lack of public interest in today's fashion world. And Thank God for that because your work is just beautiful. I'm truly looking forward to a tutorial teaching me this oh-so-pretty technique.

I am so very happy to have the chance to put some focus back on a true love of mine, and that is sewing. I've been doing it since I was 12 y.o. when my oh-so-patient mother took a chance on trying to teach at least one of her 4 girls how to sew. To this day I will call her and ask questions, should I get stuck on a pattern or a certain aspect of a pattern. She was then and remains such a marvel at all of the things she knows about this craft that has kept us so close over all of these years. I just happened upon a Threads magazine in the store one day and when I got it home I read it front to back and literally hated the fact that I had to wait for the next edition. This magazine has more information than I even knew I wanted or needed. I love that it covers a variety of courses affiliated with sewing so as to allow me to branch out and grow in other ways as well. I always loved but would never have ventured into the world of vintage clothing but Threads has shown me that it is possible and not quite as scary as I thought. Thank you for this magazine and I STILL look forward to the next edition!
