life lived creatively
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 hope to add more and more tutorials to help fuel others passion too. I believe sewing is useful to everyone, whether you just need to mend a button or want to make your own wardrobe.
