Happy New Year!
I can’t believe it is 2010. I remember when everyone was freaking out over Y2K and now it seems like that was a zillion years ago. A decade goes by so fast yet so slow. It definitely was an interesting … Continued
Craft Apron
I’ve been meaning to post this for a long time but hadn’t gotten around to it. The issue is that most of the time I sew when I’m either home alone or at night. When I’m alone there is obviously … Continued
Fabric Loot From Mexico
I just got back from a HORRIBLE trip to Mexico last night. I will spare you the trip details but at least the fabric shopping was good! That’s no consolation, but still. I was amazed at how cheap the fabric … Continued
December BWOF
I just got my December issue of Burda….meh. I think I’m just going to have to come to terms with the fact that BWOF will be pretty much useless to me in the winter months. I only had a quick … Continued
Thinking About New Wardrobe
I have been taking a break from sewing for a little while because of the reasons I mentioned before. This hiatus will last though December and possibly halfway into January but then I’m back with a vengeance! I will be … Continued

I have been meaning to blog this for two weeks but I just couldn’t get decent pictures taken. As it is, the pictures are craptastic. I blame our new point and shoot camera…it is the noisiest damn camera I’ve ever … Continued
Trench Love
I will be the first to admit that not only do I not have style, I haven’t really put much effort into acquiring one either. Only recently (since I started sewing) have I even bothered to actually look at fashion … Continued
And The Winner Is….
Jen! The fourth commenter (taking into consideration that first comment which was made on Sew Retro) wins! It so happens that Jen (Jen and Pete) is a local girl whom I have met on two occasions. I did not realize it … Continued
BWOF November, 2009
The contents of next month’s BWOF issue are up on the German site! I had seen the preview on the back of the October issue and the red dress blew me away. Turns out, that red dress is just one … Continued
Three Of A Kind
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I was making a tunic from a pattern I had made twice before in hopes that it would end the long line of wadders I had recently experienced. Well, my plan worked. The … Continued
