Something About Me in Time for Spring

I love getting lost in time making something special, sometimes its painting on silk or at the sewing machine just plugging away with my little by my side.

I started sewing with my mom when I was about 8 years old. I would sit next to her side by side sewing together. We would sew uniforms for Bands and Drum Corps, Colorguards and Dance. My dresses for prom and friends dresses for weddings. We took a quilting class together when I was 12, it was the one of the best experiences I had with my mom (I highly recommend doing, BTW) Sewing has always brought me closer to the people I love and the has opened doors in ways one would not think possible. Painting is a creative outlet, putting the magic of color on silk can never get boring. I have spent several years just trying new things with silk. I started doing scarves and then silk flags for bands and colorguards. Now I am working with sewing my silks into bolero vests & dresses, I will through some blouses in the mix when I find just the right pattern. So many ideas, there isn't enough time for them all. I have decided to focus on what I like and would love to wear, this help to narrow down the collection.  

January, I was focused on using up some of my silk stash and getting small projects done and out of the way. February is building for spring, it will be here before we know it. I have some pretty bolero just waiting to be fixed and sewn along with several dresses. Looking forward to March when my shop will start to look like I have been working. Believe me, I have been working, Patently waiting to show my new collection.
