Embroidery and sewing since about 6years old. I've sewn everything except real bras and logcabins (I have no wood thread). And I'll try to make anything!!! I love sewing tools and "older" machines--they are sooooo (sew) well made. I'm sorry that I didn't learn to knit or crochet, but keep way too busy with what I do- work on.
craft interests: embroidery, fashion, sewing

Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: "Couture Sewing Techniques" by Claire B. Shaeffer
I want to learn how to make my garments fit PERFECTLY, and to construct them so they shine the way I see them in my imagination! Claire makes lessons effective for me.

Re: Sewing findings on securely
I remember (now too) using this nice technique. I became lazy and--- sloppy. Consider this a turning of a new leaf.

Re: Book Giveaway: Successful Serging
What a great sounding book! Does it come with a dust-cloth to get my new-unused machine going again???? I want to make friends with that machine, so here I come!
