Stitch Examples
I’m taking a sewing class. One of the assignments we do regularly is samples of stitches. I find this great because it gives me the chance to actually sew all the stitches I’ve always wanted to try but never had motivation. Amazing how a grade can provide motivation. Anyhow, keep your eyes peeled for examples…
First pair of panties
As you may or may not know, I’ve recently started taking sewing classes at the local college. I’m taking two classes: lingerie construction and intermediate clothing construction. These are fabulous classes and I’m learning a ton.
Little zipper bag
I needed something to keep together all the random bits in my purse. So I made this when I was up in the morning with jet lag. It’s lined. I’m quite pleased with how it came out. Perhaps I will put together a tutorial if I have time. Here are some other pictures.

Emmeline Apron
A while back I had posted about wanting to make the Emmeline Apron. I mean, a while back. Got the fabric and everything. But time passed . . . And I found new fabric. Now I wanted to make it out of cupcake fabric (see above). So I bought some of that. I was now…
