05.20.09A Year O’ Screenprinted T-ShirtsI'm a bit late in posting these pictures, since I had to go to Pittsburgh for Quilt Market (check out photos of the cool stuff I saw over on Project 95's Facebook page and detailed write-ups about new releases that I'm posting on FabTalk; True Up is also continuing their great coverage of Market--thanks to East Coast Stringer Mary Beth, so make sure to check out that awesomeness as well), I had a bit of a delay in downloading these photos of a special project Josh and I worked on together. Susan's sweet little girl, Pearl, turned one about two weeks ...

05.19.09Shameless Self-Promotion – We’re in Stitch Magazine!Have you seen Interweave's awesome special magazine, Stitch? We loved it when the first issue was released--it's defintiely a magazine for folks who love to sew and create. Well, the second issue of Stitch features a lovely article by the marvelous Susan Beal, and she interviewed Sarah for her article "Print Me," which is about how to customize your sewing with DIY screen-printed fabrics. And, also flattering, little ol' Sewer-Sewist was listed as resource for those aspiring to screen print at home.

03.21.09More Buttony Goodness[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Some of the original projects from "Button it Up." I got to pick a necklace to wear during the event--I sort of felt like Angelina Jolie borrowing fancy jewelry for the People's Choice Awards."][/caption] No, it hasn't gotten to be all buttons, all the time here, but Josh and I have both been sick with various bugs--again--so we still haven't had much of a chance to do much in the way of projects or photograph a few (now) oldies for Sewer-Sewist. I've also not had a chance to take pictures of my progress on my colossal project ...

02.28.09Buy This Book: “Button it Up” by Susan Beal[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Cover of "Button it Up," by my awesome pal Susan. Aside from the fact this is a unique new book, I really love the cover. I am a terrible one for judging a book by its cover, and Taunton did a lovely job with this design--it's very eye-catching and energetic."][/caption] I'm not even going to try to pretend to be unbiased in this review, I'm just going to try to give you a bunch of reasons why you should buy my friend Susan Beal's awesome new book, Button it Up: 80 Amazing Vintage Button Projects. While I've ...

11.25.08Bingo, Bango, Bongo!That post title doesn't really mean anything, but it's a quote from the great Bill Schonely, the best play-by-play announcer of all time. When someone would do something really awesome, The Schonz would randomly shout, "Bingo, Bango, Bongo!" There were other things, too. Like, "Rip City!" or "Ocean to Ocean..." or "Lickety Brindle up the Middle." I listened to him call Portland Trail Blazers games on the radio my whole life, and no on will ever be as awesome as The Schonz. Seriously, Josh and I saw him walking down the street last year and I literally started hyperventilating. He's ...
