I have been sewing since I was 14 years old, and it has been 37 years now and I am still at it. I just love creating beautiful things! I make window and bed treatments, cornices, upholster, handpaint and airbrush. I love working with fabrics and with other materials or media. Before I taught myself to make drapes and quilts, I designed and made womans clothing and tailored men's suits. I have worked on many different types of machinery with regards to making the different items that I create now and had created in the past, and I find them, along with all the information that is out there today a wonderful!!!
I have two degrees in completely unrelated fields that have nothing to do with sewing, but I always came back to my sewing for the freedom it gives me!! You can never go wrong in life by being creative in what ever you do and doing what you love!!!!
craft interests:
crochet, embroidery, fashion, gifts, knitting, quilting, restyle, sewing

Re: Book Giveaway: Successful Serging
I have had sergers for 25 years or so, and I really purchased one just to finish off my seams!! I am pretty much self taught with regards to the type of things I sew, so I have never taken even one class on sergering (and I have 3 sergers). Over the years I have seen some really beautiful things that are being done with sergers and I am in a stage in my life where I can now take the time to read about new and different ways to use my sergers. This book would be so helpful to me because I like to learn on my own and experiment with different things (from different fabrics and their thicknesses to shapes and designs that I know a serger can make. This book would definately be a great tool for me!! More and better ideas are always needed, and because the possibilies are endless, so go for it sewers and always be creative!!!!
