How This All Started...

I hinted that there would be an announcement of sorts back in June. Yeah I thought I would be ready for it sooner, but I wasn’t. I am now.

First I have to tell the story of how all this began. Back in April, I was planning on participating in my parents’ neighborhood yard sale. I had just started sewing again and had a permanent place to keep both machines out on a table. No more putting them away after completing a project. My mom suggested that, for the yard sale, I make some cute aprons. We thought that folks would snatch them up!

NOW LET ME TELL YOU HOW THAT WENT.

No one even looked at my aprons. Sigh. Oh well. Now at least I have a good story to tell!

So I told this story to a lot of people. The reaction was always, “Oh I didn’t know you could sew.” or “I want to see the aprons, I’ve been looking for a cute one.” or “Can you make me _________?” Ever since then I have had projects to do for people.

So far I’ve done aprons, curtains, tote bags, purses, and some alterations.

I’ve also opened an Etsy shop. You can see it here. I also accept custom orders.

In the next couple of weeks, I am going to be having a giveaway!!! Stay tuned!!!

By the way, the 2-day yard sale got me $100 and a F-150 full of stuff to take to Goodwill. What a wash.

Buttercup Bags

These wonderful little bags are so cute! The pattern is by Rae H from Made By Rae. I purchased the pattern and license to sell these bags and I'm really excited about them! You can find these here in my shop.
