2014, A Year in Review

As the year comes to an end, I wanted to look back at my creative output for the year.  It has been a busy one!

The sewing community (both online and in person) has been incredibly inspiring, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

I did not accomplish everything I hoped to (that never manages to happen . . . ), but for goodness sake, this hobby of mine took me all the way to New York City!

I hope the next year brings even more fabulous adventures.

  16. Wow! I've looked at some other vintage sewing web sites and you carry off the look better than any others I've seen. You don't overdo the makeup and you look lovely and natural. The dresses you have made are just beautiful and very flattering on you. It must be so much fun to be able to sew these lovely fashions and then to wear them and look beautiful in them on top of it! Happy New Year!
