This may come as a shock to everyone, but I actually finished something for once.
It’s been ages, and it’s not for lack of trying. I have had this pinstriped denim that I got at Bolt quite awhile ago (this fall, maybe?), but had grown way too attached to, and thus was reluctant to cut. It’s [...]
Have your sewing troubles ever gotten this bad?
From the The New Zealand Herald:
A woman in a rush to get to a garden party called 111 to ask for help with her sewing.
The woman, who has not been identified, called police in Rotorua yesterday pleading for help to thread her needle.
Now our friend Bryan, who recently [...]
Because my Sophia Bag looks so awesome!
Even though it resulted in a serious pin graveyard and some bleeding fingers…
It was totally worth it.
I covered a lot of my changes in my first entry about this bag. You remember, the post where I whined a lot. But here’s the quick recap: I added some handbag feet. [...]

And I were an astronaut stuck in that lunar rainstorm, I’d have just the thing to wear.
