I"m so excited. I tried the muslin on my niece, and it fits perfectly. Now I just have to get the fabric and make it. Whew...what a relief.

I'm currently sewing for my niece for her wedding. It has been alot of fun. I"m making two dresses for the girls bridesmaids dresses, then a simple empire, a-line dress for the bride.

One of these days, truly, I am going to start sewing for myself.

Two weeks ago, I spent some time in Las Vegas with two of my sister-in-laws. We had so much fun. We shopped, ate, and played. It was a much needed break from the usual ho humdrum kind of day.

Today, we finished up a class on sewing a bag. I had two students and they did a terrific job. The bags were so cute. I wanted to go home and make one for me.

I love to teach sewing and if there is a possibility that I can get someone interested in sewing, I"ll do anything to help them along.

It's been a busy day, and I didn't get any sewing done...dang it. maybe tomorrow.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born and raised in KC MO, basically. I'm older than dirt and my passion in life (aside from my family) is sewing.

I've been sewing since I was 7. My mom taught me. It was a miracle I ever completed anything. The one thing I became proficient at is ripping............

My favorite things to make are christening *blessing dresses. Both for boys and girls.....the boys are little outfits, the girls are dresses.
I would eventually like to start my own business.

I work full time at a job I love, but I would love to retire and make clothes for others.
