This is the place to look if you love sewing or maybe need some tips to get started. There will be free patterns here as well! I’ve been sewing for about 22 years and have made everything from simple bags to my wedding dress. Sewing is my greatest passion!

I spent Saturday cleaning up my work space because it had become some cluttered I didn’t have a clear work surface. When I was finished, I realized my fabric stash needed a clean out as well.
